    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....

Hey fellas, just wanted to report a great transaction I just had with Ray - Ray and Joni Austin from Ft. Lewis, Wa. Well he had a boa posted as an orangetail. I thought it was a decent boa with some nice orange in it's tail so I made an offer. He met me inbetween my offer and his price which was fine. I'll admit at first I was a little nervous but this resulted from nothing more than a miscommunication early in the deal. After that, Ray went out of his way to contact me whenever possible in a professional manner and to make me happy which he did...very much so. He ended up sending me the animal along with a little unexpected compensation due to our 'lil' miscommunication! This alone was more than most others would've and have done in this case. He also went out of his way to provide me with more lineage/bloodline/parents information than ANYONE ever has, even when asking for it!!! At the end of the day I got WAY more than I expected...a perfect long awaited addition to one of my more favorable breeding projects instead of just another pretty boa!!!  To top it off...this girl is HOT!!! She has WAY more orange and pink on her sides than I thought and that orange tail is HUGE!!! He tracked it for me and contacted me, he shipped my preferred way, he packaged it great-well insulated AND the boa was in new tupperware NOT a dirty smelly old snake bag! Well thumbs up for Ray in my book - he sure made me a happy camper and I recommend him to anyone else out there looking for some nice animals. He can be reached by email @ [email protected]     So give him a call...check out his animals...it'll be worth your while!
 
Ray is indeed awesome.  I had a transaction with him some 3 months ago or so for a large female BCI, we probably corresponded like 30 times on email, then phone then met 1/2 way to trade.  She was exactly as stated and pictured and I look forward to attempting to breed her this coming year!
