    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....

    Repair of impacted scent gland - graphic

    I noticed some swelling recently in one of my big female ball python's tails. I could palpate at least three hard, pea sized masses. Her right scent gland was impacted so I brought her to our vet clinic. We doesn't generally see reptiles, but my boss loves surgery and learning new procedures so...

    getting breeder info from a business?

    What do you think about asking a company for info from/about breeders who wholesaled animals to them that you ending up buying? Is it not an appropriate thing to do? Here's my general situation, since maybe my question isn't worded very well. I bought a snake - I really wasn't planning on it...

    Offering animals not in yor possession

    I've noticed that a lot of people have been trying to get adult female ball pythons for breeding, since it's that time of year.  I have a couple questions about this.   There is a reptile shop that I frequent here and they have some adult balls.  I was wondering what people thought of...

    Questions about courtesy when buying

    I had a question for breeders.  If someone is looking for a specific type of animal and contacts you and you discuss prices, etc, how far along in the discussions should you be before needing to send an email saying that you are not interested at the time?  I'd like to avoid taking too much of...

    More feeding problems

    At what point would you begin force-feeding a hatchling snake?  I have a pair of bloods - one eating, one not.  I've tried feeding different size, type of prey, different times, different methods, but I can't seem to get the smaller one to eat.  They've had a couple weeks to settle in and have...

    Logan Enterprises/David Van Houten

    I ordered a pair of blood pythons from him and when some possible problems came up with the snakes I already have, he was willing to work with me on my situation and took the time to promptly answer all my emails. My snakes are all doing fine now, so I had the pair shipped yesterday.  I just...

    Jesse Underhill

    Jesse Underhill/JJ's Reptiles has now actually refunded $500 of the total $800 he owes me so far.  As far as I know, he's also not selling reptiles anymore.  It looks like he's making good on his word, finally.

    Jesse Underhill/JJ's Reptiles

    I just wanted to post an update for anyone who's been following this thread in the old BOI, etc.  For anyone who doesn't know what's going on, I purchased a pair of supposedly het for albino ball pythons for $800. They were sick when I recieved them and I subsequently returned them after his...
