    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.

    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....

Limited selection of uber-quality California mountain kingsnakes (Lampropeltis zonata) for 2011. Guaranteed feeding, problem-free gems....all the work is done for you at a moderate cost. No lizard scenting, no syringe-fed baby food, no pinky-pumping. In life we all get what we pay for.......representing all sub-species of L. zonata with varied localities available from year to year.

Please come on in and peruse Magnum Opus Zonata at www.zonatas.com where quality, NOT QUANTITY, matters most of all.

I'm looking for a female adult zonata, colored similarly to the picture here. I have a male zonata from the Santa Rita mountains, that looks almost exactly like the picture you posted. Your website, zonata.com, doesn't seem to be accessible. Can you advise?
 
Oh I can advise!!! Ben, you just bumped a 6 yr old thread. The OP has not even logged into Fauna since 7/11/2012. A 2 min google search would show you that Jerry was arrested and then put on probation for wildlife crimes. Granted this happened a while back and he is likely off probation by now. Its not likely that he is still selling zonata. Good luck with you're search!
 
Wow--i'm new to this page, so i'm still learning how to get around. i searched by the snake, and this ad came up second on the list. I didn't think to check the date. Thank you for letting me know! I'm surprised they've left his posts up given the situation.

Anyway, thanks again!
 
Ben Walker, you should also know that if you have a mountain king from the Santa Rita mountains, it's a pyro and not a zonata. I have 1.1 very nice low black Santa Ritas for sale. PM me if you're interested.
