    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....

Hello BOI, First time post, long time reader. My dilemma is this, I want to get into African House snakes, and my budget is tight. It seems like my best option is wc's (unfortunately). With that said, the two most reasonably priced places to get them are First Choice Reptiles and Backwater Reptiles. I am wondering if I can gather a consensus on BOI. Past posts on here have given me a pretty mixed reviews and I have had transactions with both in the past. My FCR herps have kicked the bucket pretty soon after arrival (but not DOA), but no shipping problems. My Backwater order arrived on time and healthy, but it sounds like I might be the exception from what I read on BOI. Any advice besides flipping a coin? Thanks!
 
BOI threads need to be about one specific person or business. (Multiple names allowed if they are part of the same company, or if they are aliases.)

You may start inquiries about both parties separately.
