    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....

Anyone have any news about Steve Shillingford?

I have been wondering for quite some time what the deal is with this guy. I have seen him advertise for several months now about shipments coming into the US for rare animals. The prices have been very very low(many below the average cost of animals before freight out of Africa), and in some cases they have undercut myself as well as many other vendors for animals that we all work very hard to obtain.In his adds he asks for 1/2 upfront and I know that many people sent deposits several months ago for animals. I am wondering if anyone has gotten any animals out of this guy or if is him advertising these animals at low prices doing nothing but ruining the market for animals that are very difficult to obtain. I had several customers ask me what the deal is with this guy and I honestly could not tell them. Although I have not personally spoken with him, I know of people who have and said that he was pleasant to deal with, but they did not proceed any further than phone conversations. If anyone has had any experiences with this guy(good or bad) I would love to hear about it.
