    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.

    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....

Better of two evils..?

Hey every body. New to the site and made it since I plan buying my friends pueblan milksnake tomorrow. He asked me if I could order him a snake (Baby brooks King snake) and he would give me the money to order it and have it delivered to his house. (His parents don't know he's getting another reptile) I ordered it today and it should be coming in the early morning. I planned on opening the package and placing him in my 28 quart tub with some hides, water bowl, heat pad etc. for some reason this kid is paranoid and scared his animal will be stressed and for me to leave him inside his deli cup in the box and not open it. Additionally he says he's never had unboxing experience so he wants to open it...the King snake should be coming in around 9:30am. And I won't be driving down to meet him in his neighborhood until 5 ish in the afternoon. What are y'all's thoughts on this? I think the better of two evils is to just put him in a temp. Enclosure till I deliver it.

Any input would be awesome :)
Thanks
 
Open the package, video the unboxing, and put the new arrival in a temp enclosure far away from your other snakes.

Agreed. However, why would you order a live animal for your friend if his parents don't know that he is getting it?
 
Well he's technically switching snakes, replacing the one he lost, and they're okay with it. And then there's the part where he can't order online
