    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....

:hurray: Just got 2.2 eastern indigos that are large, healthy and very red from Robert. It takes a little while to get all the details worked out but he sends you some really top notch animals.

Cheers

What the%#$&%#*^%???

Bill,
That's quite a turn around, to say the least! Don't forget you were ready to hurt the guy a few days ago! Don't forget who talked you down. Right? And we both know you aren't in Fl.

True enough, I meant "Tropical Colorado" I get the 2 states mixed up since the climates are similar!!!!

I never mind printing a retraction or when someone makes good on a deal etc. Your right, "Patience" is the key to dealing with Robert but he ranks as a "good guy" now that I know the animals he sends are nice ones. I'll send some pictures, all 2.2 ate small thawed rats on Sunday! They arrived on Friday morning, so I gave them a few days to settle in.

If more people would just approach selling reptiles using "standard" business procedures with the "customer", far less misunderstandings would occur with the transactions.

Of course once one has lost a substantial amount of "cash in the past" involving "internet/interstate" reptile purchases, it can make one overly cautious!
The only positive to internet/interstate purchases is that when the seller does decide to default on the transaction in someway and it involves the sending and taking of cash up front, the purchaser has a lot more legal clout to fall back on. The transaction now falls under the Federal arena of fraud laws etc. not the State Attorney Generals office.
