    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 know Ben Cole?

We are considering a trade deal with Ben Cole. Is there anyone out there that knows him or has dealt with him? We would appreciate any information. Thanks.

why yes

I bought a nice little yearling emerald from him 8 months ago or so? Snakes doing great, the transaction went well, other than holidays and weather delays if i recall, he was always quick to respond by email. good luck
 
Good guy

Ben Cole is a stand-up guy that knows his animals. He shipped my purchase very well packaged and kept in contact with me throughout our transaction. I would gladly do business with him again and would recommend him to others as well.

Regards,

I've known Ben for years... all the animals I've gotten from him were A+...
he is 100% up front about everything he sells....
 
Ben and I have done lots of business together - stand up guy, intelligent, knowledgeable, professional, etc., etc., etc...

Nothing will be misrepresented...

Buy with confidence.

I saw Ben at the Tampa show this weekend and I told him about this thread (he was totally unaware of it).... the animals he had on display were just gorgeous and very healthy.... he's also a great guy to talk to.... you should have NO problems....
