    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....

Please do not reply to this post - EMAIL ME directly if you're interested. hellfirereptiles@ comcast . net

These are all "used" and pretty much my personal herp library. Look through through the whole list - there's some slightly higher end, more sought after gems mixed in there. I'm not a book dealer and most all of these are in pristine / brand new to better than good condition. Some are out of print and no longer available. Shipping is additional.
I’ll consider offers on some of these, but please don't make me ridiculous offers as I'm advertising elsewhere as well. I'll only consider trades for firearms or Harley Davidson Touring themed items - no animals. Sorry, but I don't have pictures of the covers. They're readily available via the web. If you have any specific questions about any of these, drop me a line.
Thanks
