    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 was wondering if anyone had done business with Chen Wen Bin from Shanghai, China. He is looking to send some snakes to the US and I would like to get in on the shipment, but wanted to see if anyone had experience with him first. Asian shipments, names and prices raise typical red flags for me, but I'm hoping to hear good things.

Thanks for your insight Garret, you're a real peach.



As for an update to this thread, within 24 hours of coming to an agreement with Chen on quantity/pricing, I received this message via Facebook:

The linked user's name is "He Mingliang" - translated from "何明亮"

This is probably as far as I'm willing to take this, but maybe it will be enough to help someone in the future.
 
An update on this - Chen is definitely not someone who I'd ever do business with. He has started going on racist rants on facebook - pasting manufactured racial garbage and defending it with the gem "A good black is a dead black".
