• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

We bought three animals from Dave from this site and the transaction went very smoothly. The snakes arrived alive, alert and active. The quality of the animals is also amazing and he could provide all the details of their lineage and genetics, and the price was really good for what we got. He was very polite and friendly. We contacted him over Memorial Day weekend letting him know that we were interested in some particular animals, but we couldn't pay right away because we needed to transfer some money but the banks were closed. He had no problem holding them for us for a couple of days and shipped them out the next week when the temperatures dipped down (a serious consideration for us in southern states during the summer). Since both of us work full-time day jobs we have our packages sent to a FedEx holding center to pick up as soon as we get off of work, and he had no problem doing that. He contacted us twice, once before and once after, to make sure everything was okay. We would definitely recommend doing business with him.
