    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 a Great experience with Home Grown Herps. I had purchased a pair of Jim’s bullsnakes and something must have happened during shipment as they died the morning after I received them. Jim had worked with me on getting these snakes. I had told him I wanted a pair and then had some financial issues come up which delayed my purchase. Jim said he understood, and the snakes were available when I had the money. Jim replaced the snakes that died, even though their demise was no fault of his. He went above and beyond for me. The replacement snakes are great and are doing excellent. I would recommend Home Grown Herps to anyone looking for quality snakes. I will definitely do business with Jim again.

Take care,

Great guy, great animals

I consider Jim to be an all around good guy. He knows his snakes and has quality animals. I would recomend him any day. All his snakes are excellent but the fact he loves Pits makes him all that much cooler! Tom Stevens
 
It's easy to be a good seller when everthing goes right. It's when things go wrong that people show their true colors. And it looks like Jim is really a person to keep on your list of people to do business with. :thumbsup:
 
I have never dealt with Jim. I did meet him in Daytona though, he seems like a real nice guy. I would not hesitate to deal with him. Well deserved thread Jim!!! :)
