• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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.....

    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....

Beware of Ken King / [email protected] Another scammer!

Will they ever stop this BS!!!! My god, they never give up!!!

And it isn't just reptiles either. When I was helping my stepson sell his motorcycle I got about 25 of this type of e-mail on the very first day of the add. There has to be a way to trace these people and get them arrested for something. Maybe fraud or at least being annoying.

I just e-mailed him

I just e-mailed Ken offering up some carpet pythons. I think I'll begin a new hobby....collecting bogus checks and money orders from scammers.
 
They just come from EVERYWHERE!!!
Sorry to hear they are pestering you now David. Seems like it could be a pain in the a$$.

Phony Check collecting. Have fun with your new hobbie :)

Ciao,
Rick
