    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....

I recently completed a trade with Shawn Daugherty and received a beautiful, healthy cbb Aru-type green tree python. It was accurately represented, arrived safely packed, and has been a perfect animal in every way possible.

The transaction was flawless and Shawn's communication was very professional. The neonate was exactly as advertised and he provided numerous pictures (on his website) of the parents and siblings. I would do business with him again.

My only regret is that I only got one neonate from this clutch. :)

I have to totally agree with Jordan. I got a baby from this same clutch and I wish I had taken them all. Shawn has been the best and soooo easy to work with and excellent communication. I wish all of the sellers I have worked with were this wonderful. Shawn, make sure to let me know when you have another clutch!

I have to agree to the above. I traded Shawn for one of his baby Arus. The transaction was flawless and there was great communication through each step of it. I'd love to do business again. Thanks Shawn!

Like all are indicating, Shawn's one of the good guys out there. Bought a GTP from him and had problems with shipping (on UPS's part) and he was all over it with them. Snake ended up arriving a day late but still in good condition. Great communication! I'd buy from him again and again. Like I said, quality guy...not many out there like him anymore.

Good point. Happy to do so once I start getting a paycheck again. Tough times right now with a family to feed. I do think it's a beneficial service worth supporting!

Cheers.
 
hopefully the website owner understands that times are hard and he/she can keep this up and going with the small amount of financial support that is being sent.
cmikeheers and good luck,
 
I have contributed several times this year (around $100) to the hobby in support of the people working against the python ban. Which I shouldn't have done, since I have overdue bills myself. I also wanted to show support to the BOI, but I found that supporting the hobby from the ground floor took priority at the time.

In this tough economic time, I found myself giving all my customers the biggest discounts I could, free shipping in some cases, and best service I could. It did however leave me in a situation where I could barely cover my costs to support my collection. I made no money this year at all. In fact I'm a at a loss. Even after 12 cash sales.

I plan on contributing to the BOI next paycheck, if it's still around.
