    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....

Wanted WTB Crotalus Cerastes

No permit needed in CA for them. You can own them but can't legally buy them here. I just sold the baby Cerestes I had besides holdbacks. Good luck finding them!
 
So from what you just said he basically has to go catch them himself because otherwise he’d be buying them (which is illegal) or somehow importing them (which is also illegal)?
 
Well... just like cannabis in Cali here, you can always give someone gas money to bring them to you. Lol. As long as it's a non monetary gift I can give away any babies. But you can only sell morphs (viridis, atrox, helleri, oreganus) and you can not keep Ruber. But the rest we can catch with a bag limit and a fishing license.
 
You need a fishing license to collect non venomous species in california, but you do not need any license at all to wildly collect rattlesnakes (such as cerastes) within California. You are correct about the bag limit and no rubers allowed though. I was confused about this myself, but I spoke to Sargent Kyle Chang 951-929-4819 personally to clear up and confirm this regulation for me when I was living in Southern California.
