    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 saw a post that Delta is no longer shipping venomous snakes. I called my local counter and yes it is true. They are no longer accepting venomous because of employee liability. This could effectively shut down the entire venomous industry. Please respond as this could easily affect the non-ven industry soon. Please post any info. I wish this was a joke, but, IT IS NOT. Call your Delta counter.
 
Please let this be a joke....

If not, then this is a terrible situation for the industry. Everyone needs to know what other possible options may be available. If nothing else, all of you venomous folks should get together and see if you can agree on one major carrier, if one is available, and as soon as you can get together and provide them with loads of business, see if they'll agree to attempt cornering the market for all snakes sent by air freight. Convince others who ship with Delta that this is a sign of things to come and show that one carrier is willing to work with them.

Just my thoughts, but better to jump on it immediately than to wait and have absolutely no direction later.

The Whole Poop

Got the whole deal on the Delta jokers. The regional manager got a bug somewhere unmentionable and banned all reptle shipments in this whole district (south west area NM, TX,AZ,CO). The BIG office is taking care of this "overzealousness" of their district manager as he WAY exceded his authority. This is not the only district affected so call your local counter, so these yahoos will get the message. This has a big impact on my business and NW might not be an option as the people are not in touch with their own policies. I am also located in a bad spot for airlines and Delta ,so far, is my only option.
Remember folks this is how things start, without us knowing one person exceded his authority and could have started an avalanche of knee-jerk responses. Please call your local counters and make sure this putz didn't affect you.
