    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Stolen Monitors

Two weeks ago I brought in a shipment of reptiles from Indonesia to LAX. In the shipment were 8 blue tree monitors - 5 babies & 1.2 sub adults, 6 baby green tree monitors, baby green tree pythons and frilled lizards. The shipment was stolen from the customs bond area of Singapore Airlines. The people who did this are obviously very stupid. First rob a bank and you get a year, steal from a customs bond area and it's 5 years minimum. The reptiles were never cleared by Customs or Fish & Wildlife so you can add 5 to 10 years more. Anyone who has these animals is also guilty of not just being in possession stolen goods but a host of federal crimes. I know who picked them up and who he worked for and they will be taken care of. As soon as the police give the OK I'll post the name of the fish dealer and his employee. I'd rather have the animals back than the money so I'm asking if anyone knows where the animals are to please let me know. I've been in this business for more than 30 years and it still amazes how stupid some people are.
Thanks
