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

Inquiry Al Swanson - Good guy?

I haven't bought from him in years but he was an awesome guy. I have bought from him about 20 years ago and my father used to bring me to his house. One of the old school keepers and I always looked at as being a great guy.
 
If it is the Al Swanson from northern California, I did business with him about three years back with me as the seller. Everything went smoothly and was a hassle free transaction. Was a nice guy to deal with.
 
Al Swanson from S.I. New York, is extremely honest and knowledgeable. I have dealt with him for over 50 years.
 
I bought some snakes from him this summer. Everything was prompt and delivered as described. He's in my "fire and forget" book... That means: send him money, receive nice snakes in return with no worry.
