    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.

    How to get a Burmese

    I understand there is a law that keeps traders from selling Burmese pythons outside of states. So my question is, if no one in my state has any, or the Morph I desire, how do I go about getting one? Can someone tell me a little bit more about this law? My guess is they wanted to prevent people...
