• 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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Does no one care? PYTHON BAN

I heard some sad news today. Andrew Wyatt said that only about 200 people have commented on the rule change proposed by the US Fish and Wildlife. What it is going on? This is the ninth inning folks May 11th is the deadline after that the rule change will go through if we don't get enough comments. HSUS has as many comments as we do. Do we not care anymore? If you are a breeder with any size or wishing to be of any size you better comment. We can read the comments and see who has sent them in. I just don't understand it.
 
The information on the site says that letters/comments might not be viewable for up to 2 weeks, so I'm hoping there are a lot more comments being sent in than are showing. I sent mine in.

Unfortunately it seems not. Andrew Wyatt said we are being beat by HSUS by thousands. It just doesn't make sense why the reptile community isn't coming out in bigger numbers. Also after this is done amphibians will be going on the next bill. If we don't make a good showing here and beat HSUS back then they will just continue going down the list.
 
I posted my comment the other day and both my husband and myself became bronze members of USARK:D
 
I got mine in, and I hope everyone else did as well. Let's hope the apathy got kicked to the curb. It's gonna suck for us to lose our rights just because people were too lazy to take ten minutes to make a comment.

Mine showed up the next day. I submitted twice, once in the text box (the one with the 2000 character limit) and once with an attachment just in case. The comments showed up the next day.
 
When all is said and done, the reptile community will know who posted a comment and who didn't. Your name is recorded into the public comment and is search-able.

Remember, we will all know who did their part and who did not.

100% true. Good news also, USARK just reported there has been a 30 day extension put on this. This is a good thing we need a lot more comments yet. It will reopen at the end of the week.
