    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....

Social media seems to be the new way to drive prices in different directions, but why haven't green anaconda prices come back down to a rational / sane amount?

A few years ago these were $200-$300 a piece and you could get them for less in prior years. The greens are no special morph, no hets, no genetic differences, are readily available; and have large clutches. They spiked in the recent 2 years and just keep going up for no apparent reason. I'm seeing $1600+ now on a green!? :shrug01:

I know if I was breeding them i'd put them back at $300 and just take the profit cut. Why gauge people for an animal that isn't genetically worth more than that. :ack2:

This feels like the "pet rock" craze in the 70's. :face_palm_02:
 
Green anacondas can not be exported you can only purchase in the states which is the reason why the prices went up. Years ago people were exporting them from south america which you can no longer do that.

I think what you mean is that they can not be imported any more. Also they used to not be permitted to be shipped interstate, and then when USARK won against FWS that became legal again so demand immediately went up, hence the price increase.
