    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....

neighbors dont call legislators but they do call local LE and it starts from there.
In WI, most municipalities and many counties prohibit ownership of snakes over 3-6ft, depending on location. AC in Milwaukee, Madison, LaCrosse and many other cities and counties are staffed by actual PETA and HSUS members. They stage public-spectacle raids that are commando attacks staffed by local police, state wildlife agencies, and USFWS. The Terry Cullen case set a legal precedent that rack systems for snakes have been declared as inhumane housing and is a chargeable offense in this state.
When they find out about collections, they are publicized to the media as "hoarding" situations and are sensationalized out of all proportion.
We are picked off one by one with no public outcry or unified front, and driven to bankruptcy with fines and legal defense.
It's become too dangerous to keep animals in this state. HSUS has bought the WI legislature to squash animal enterprises.I am in the process of selling all of my reptiles. I just dont want to deal with the gestapo anymore.

In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Socialists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Socialists.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
