    **************************************************
    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....

A quote to remember...

Many people are undoubtedly thinking "It isn't MY state, so why should I get involved?" Or, "Those aren't MY animals at risk, so why should I worry about it?"

To emphasize the point I am trying to make here, this quote by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller, a concentration camp survivor, comes to mind and deserves repeating:


"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I didn't speak up;

Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I didn't speak up;

Then they came for the trade unionists, but I wasn't a trade unionist, so I didn't speak up;

Then they came for the Catholics, but I wasn't a Catholic, so I didn't speak up;

And then they came for me, and there was nobody left to speak up for me.”

Think about this, please.
 
Another great quote, from the movie Primal Fear, Richard Gere says in the opening narration:

"If you want justice go to a whore house. If you want to get fuc*ed go to a courtroom."
 
Even if it is your state, (I am in Ohio) I didn't pay close attention because they kept assuring us reptiles would not be included. I came in late, but fortunately was able to get some of the crocodilian caging rules mitigated. We ALL must be ALWAYS vigilant/
 
I am glad that some people realize this. I am in Ct. and they are trying to ban Boas and berms. If that goes through balls and king snakes milk snakes will all be next. We need to stand together no matter what reptile we have. We need to support ALL states.
 
And CT is already bad about the laws they have on the books. they ignored repeated requests from me regarding an import permit for an educational program. If they can't administer what is already on the books, how will they administer new laws properly?
