    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've been successfully breeding snakes for a few years now and want to take everything to the next level. Can anyone offer any kind of first hand experience on general rules/regulations surrounding breeding reptiles in a commercial setting? I've only ever bred them on my own property, but my plans will require significantly more space that what I can provide on my own land. Would it still be zoned as retail, even if I'm not open to the public? Any and all info on anything is appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Every city, state, municipality, county has different zoning requirements. You also need to look at local laws. Will you be open to the public by appointment or just producing and then selling at shows, on-line, etc? If no public visitation at all, probably could be zoned warehouse, light industrial. In my city, any business with more than one visitor per day or five per week must be in an appropriately zoned area.
