• 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....

Inquiry How do you know when its a scam?

Hi, I was wondering when do you really know when buying snakes from Africa is a scam? I've seen this guy from Cameroon around the net he's had different emails and stuff. Idk maybe its even a different guy from Cameroon, but when they offer such good deals it makes you wanna buy but it also makes you think scam! I found most of his ads on different city's craigslist and in the ads he never said he lived in Cameroon but he never said he lived in that city either. If anybody can help me with this I would really appreciate it or if you could recommend a good overseas ball python dealer. I'm new to breeding ball pythons so I don't really know the ropes when buying them. I breed Leopard geckos and you really don't need to import them because there is enough variety and good deals here in the states.
 
There is no real need to import ball pythons anymore either, there are plenty enough being captive bred, and to import will cost you a pretty penny.
 
Unless you're inquiring about a specific business or seller, whose name is included in the title of the thread, this has no place on the BOI.
