    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.....

    =====================


    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....

I know that I tend to only remember the BAD GUYS and I take the GOOD GUYS for granted.

CHAD UMBAUGH IS A GREAT GUY!

Chad came highly recommended to me by some long time local herpers. Last December I picked up a proven breeder Pastel het Ghost BP male from Chad at a Pittsburgh PA show.

The snake was super healthy and Chad was great to work out a deal with on the animal.

I see Chad almost 2x every month--and he always has a great selection of healthy animals at every show.

In addition to being a great breeder--Chad has also been great to introduce me into the local scene---having just recently hooked me up with a great new rodent supplier that lives close to me.

I couldn't resist the opportunity to kiss some local butt on a national level!

I will definitely buy from Chad again---and I recommend others to check out his stuff!

Thanks Chad!

I haven't bought from Chad, but I would not hesitate to do so. He has some nice animals. I do some of the same shows he does. Good guy in my book.

I just did a trade with Chad and all went very smoothly. Weather tried to disrupt shipping temporarily but no problems.
