• 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....

I had the opportunity to meet Dustin Wells and his business partner Michael Bechtel in person this weekend, and I want to let the folks on the BOI know they are Good Guys.

I bought a female woma python and a female striped Bredli from Dustin. Both animals are gorgeous, and I am proud to have them in my collection. The quality of Dustin's animals is top notch, and I will certainly buy from him again.

Before the sale, Dustin was great about answering my questions and keeping in touch via email. On the day of the sale, I was late driving in to meet him, but kept him updated via texts, and he was very understanding. Thanks for being flexible Dustin!

Dustin and Michael are both really great guys, and we ended up talking herps in the 13F WI weather for over an hour. I would have loved to chat longer, but my ears and nose were screaming red from the cold by that point. At any rate, having met them in person, I can tell you they are friendly, honest, and knowledgeable.

Both Dustin Wells and Michael Bechtel have a great passion for the hobby. Having seen their animals, and met them in person, I highly recommend doing business with them.


Thanks guys!
