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....

Why is it taking him two days to refund your money? Have you been in contact with him? What's his excuse?

Is he unable to ship because of the weather? I was scraping ice off my windshield this morning and I am further south than Ed. I believe it's been as low as 25-30 degrees these last couple of days (maybe lower).

Much of this could have been avoided with proper preparation and communication. I've had some delayed shipments over the past couple months, and even being in the midst of superstorm Sandy, I was able to give my customers enough information to at least put them at ease. I'm currently holding a pair of animals until weather allows for shipping, but am in contact with the buyer at least once a week to update him.

Does Ed ever really post in threads about him? I was just curious, as I see him posting many times in other threads, but never really in threads about him.

If you paid paypal with your credit card you can contact your credit card company and they will contact paypal to get your money back. even though you closed the dispute with paypal your credit card company can have it opened and you will get it back.. just some advice...

I ship year round from 20-100F. Done right there is no problems shipped hub to hub.
Had a shipment leave MI at 25F going to 35F over night, Snakes arrived Warm still! Just pack them with polyfill NOT paper as polyfill holds heat better, and pack them closer to the heat pack with 2 holes near heat pack on outside box!

Hello everyone.
I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to respond.
There were some shipping delays shipping this dragon, me running out of heat packs, then them arriving late Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving. I told Richard that the next shipping day would be the Monday after Thanksgiving. on Monday 11/19 my computer froze up tighter than a clam, off to the repair shop with it.
Up until that point I responded to all Richards messages quickly, he had my phone# from the start so we contacted each other by phone. Richard called Monday after Thanksgiving I told him it would be impossible to ship without the computer to print shipping labels, track packages, deal with any problems that may arise and keep in contact with him.
With the safety of the dragon in mind I told him I could not ship and would refund him in full which I did. I also sent Richard some additional money to buy some feeders for his new dragon.
I have never been without a computer for this long, I now have a backup.

I want to set the record straight on a few things. here is a copy/paste from my inbox. there are more.
There was no lack of communication. after my computer died on Monday of Thanksgiving week we stayed in touch by phone. Richard called on Tuesday the same day he started this thread, he called on Wednesday. later in the day I called Richard the heat packs arrived(UPS ground)that the next shipping day would be on Monday after thanksgiving.he called MONDAY AND I TOlD HIM i CAN NOT SHIP SAFELY TODAY AND WILL REFUND HIM WHICH i DID.
i FEEL THAT THIS THREAD WAS ABOUT RICHARD NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE DRAGON RUSHED LIKE HE TOLD ME TO DO. THE DRAGON IS MINE AND I CHOOSE THE SAFEST DAY TO SHIP NOT HIM.
(sorry about the caps)

My computer died on Monday afternoon Thanksgiving week. I was not online on this or any site until 12/06
Sending Richard a paypal refund was difficult without a computer, I called paypal to get them to issue the refund from my account, they would not. I called again the next day and threatened to close my account if they could not help, they sent the refund from my account then.
