    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....

We ordered a "FEMALE HANDTAME BLOOD PYTHON" from SPECIESUS a.k.a. Danielle.

Payment was sent and accepted via PayPal last week.

The animal was shipped on the date agreed upon and to the location specified.

When I requested a tracking number I was taken aback to find out it was a USPS Express Overnight number.

The package did not arrive the next day but rather two days from when it was shipped.

I don't believe there is any excuse for shipping an animal in this manner. The snake is extremely cold and pretty beat from it's journey but hopefully it will survive.

Please not how the animal was packed in the following pictures (small USPS box, no insulation, no padding). At least one nice big tick came along for the ride as well.

Please avoid these and any others that are uncaring enough to ship their animals in way.

I have written them and asked for a refund of the shipping fees. No Response.

You should also report them to USPS. Snakes are not supposed to be shipped using USPS. Hopefully they'll get a clue and not go the cheap way. If you report them they may well get inspected the next time they try this.

Hope your snake makes it, keep us posted.
 
Nice Snake! ...

but thanks for the heads-up on this. I have communicated with the same company and will forego doing business with them based on your experience.
 
That is terrible....someone who would ship a snake in that fashion cares nothing for the well being of the animal. I would be furious if I received a snake like that.....hopefully she will recover and do well for you. Good luck with her.
