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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....

Oh....whoops...somehow I missed that vital info, lol. I wouldn't send that lowlife jack SQUAT. Keep the animals and make them better and do as you wish, but I would not send him anything. Also get them checked for internal parasites, because he has no quarantine procedures at ALL and the ATB he sold me had intestinal flagylates.
Thanks
since these snakes got so cold -- is there anything I can do to prevet them from getting phenumonia ?? and what would be the best thing to do from here besides warm them up and give them fluids ?? floyd --

The only thing you can do for them is jack up their temps and make sure they don't get respiratory infections from being in the cold so long.....I just got a Blood Python that was shipped with no heat and now has a RI.
Theres nothing you can do to prevent the parasites if the snakes already have them.....whenever they go to the bathroom, get a fecal exam done on them to be sure, or if you notice anything unusual about their bowel movements. That is usually the easiest way to tell if they have parasites.....BMs should be abnormal looking and sometimes have a great stench with them as well.

so could that be why the bag stunk so bad ??
so that is why the bag the snakes were in stunk so bad?? and it was pretty wet also -- Floyd ? ok now I am pretty sure even without a test that they have the internal parasites -- how and what do I treat them with ?? or is it something I can only get from a vet ??

also--
also to keep any of my animals from getting it -- the only way they can get it is if they come in contact with the other snakes fecal matter ?? right ?? i have them housed in rack system with other snakes in the rack but not in the same cage -- Floyd --

Well, the bag could just stink from the combined urates of 3 different snakes. I would wait until they have individual bowel movements and go from there. They also don't have to touch each other to transmit the parasites....if you touch one and then touch another, they could spread that way....which is why strict quarantine is necessary when obtaining new animals. Most of the time, only a vet can/should prescribe medication...if you can find a competent herp vet, then that would be great.
THANKS DAVID !!!!
DAVID -- Thanks for all of your help -- I am fairly new to all of this and I am learning more everyday ---- sometimes the hard way LOL --- but getting there -- I will be sure to use excellent handwashing when iI touch these animlas-- and I'll use the hand sanitizer before and after -- I will also let me employee know that if he touches any of the snakes in that cage that he needs to wash very well before he touches anything else !!
