    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....

    Trade Mineral specimens for trade

    Hi folks, I have TONS and tons and tons and tons of mineral specimens that I need to rehome. I have huge amounts of fluorites, as well as quartz, mixed minerals, spheres, dragon carvings, amethysts ... You name it, there is a good chance I have it. I've got a few listed here but this is only a...

    "Ads" button on classified ads?

    I apologize if the explanation to this is super-obvious and I somehow completely spaced it ... I looked through the most recent threads in this forum but couldn't find anything. What happened to the little "Ads" button that used to be at the bottom of a person's classified ad that let you see...

    Good Guy Thomas Eichelberger (36knuck on Fauna) -- GOOD GUY!

    I just received a snake this morning from Thomas Eichelberger (username 36knuck here on Fauna), and I could not be happier! The animal is absolutely stunning and in flawless condition. Thomas was great to work with, and the snake was very well packaged. I would not hesitate to buy from Thomas...

    Why don't I trust my instincts?

    OK, so, everything ended up working out in the end and the lady was actually very nice about the whole thing, sooooo this rant is now kind of irrelevant. (Though it did serve the purpose, at the time, of letting me vent while still sitting quietly in class!) And I feel kinda bad now for ranting...

    Good Guy Jon Webb -- Good guy!

    This is a bit belated, but definitely worth giving credit where credit is due -- I completed a trade with Jon a couple weeks ago and everything went very smoothly. Jon was very easy to work with and sent me a gorgeous snake! Thanks again Jon and sorry this post is a bit late! :)

    Good Guy Jeremiah Gentry (Lakewood Reptiles) -- Good guy!

    I just completed a trade with Jeremiah and everything went perfectly! I am very happy with the snakes -- they are big, healthy, gorgeous girls! Jeremiah was very friendly and easy to work with throughout the whole trade. Thanks again!

    Female Beige Chinchilla(s) for Adoption

    I have two beige female chins that need to find new homes. Both are around two years old. Both are "rescues" of sorts (taken in from folks who could no longer keep them). One of them is good-sized and fairly pretty, but will need a LOT of work to be a good pet. She is, unfortunately, the LEAST...

    Getting threatened for BOI posts ...

    So, I posted my first ever bad-guy post on the BOI after getting scammed awhile back, and after quite awhile of back-and-forth with a very nice cop, got my money back and figured the case closed. Just this morning I got an email from some guy who claims to share the same name as the kid who...

    Idiots who can't read

    I almost posted this in the "General Business Questions" section, but I'm mostly just pissed off so I figure this is the better place to put it ;) I breed and sell mostly mammals, and because it's too expensive and too much of a PITA, I don't ship them. This doesn't seem to be an issue at all...

    Greg Wark vs. FedEx -- Looking for Opinions

    Ugh, I had so freaking hoped to never have to make a post even remotely like this on this site ... First of all I want to start by stating that this is not, inherently, an accusatory post. I'm still a little bit on the fence about what I think is going on here -- hence the title of the thread...

    Nice Young Male Ball Python in NH

    Hi all, My next door neighbor moved out recently and gave his pet ball python to me, as he could not take it where he was going. The snake is really cute and friendly but I'm just not into ball pythons and really could use the room. It is very used to handling and people, and though he was...

    Please Help Save the Angora Ferrets!

    It is unclear as to exactly why Danish Angora ferret breeder Soren is choosing to put to death 800 of his breeding stock of ferrets, but this is what he has stated he will do if he cannot sell the lot of them (reportedly a $200,000 investment). A group of Angora ferret enthusiasts has been...
