• 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....

Second thread I should have posted awhile ago...
I bought an adult male Sorong GTP from Gary last year after a fairly lengthy selection process (he helped me pick my first GTP).
Gary was great, and the animal is exactly as described.
FedEx screwed up in shipping (GTP got lost in Indy), and Gary immediately contacted me. He was all over FedEx. Whatever he did ensured that I was able to pick my animal up at the airport here in SD after a minimal delay.
Snake was fine and has been doing great for me.
Gary has also been patient while I peppered him with questions since the purchase.
Do not hesitate to buy from Gary.
 
I've known Gary for 25+ years. Aside from being one of the funniest guys around, he's one of the most knowledgeable, honest people in the hobby. Never hesitate to buy from him.
