    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....

How does this work?

I was just wandering though the classifieds, and I saw an ad from a Florida seller for albino burms. It caught my eye because it was clearly labeled No FL Sales....but they can't leave the state, either. What's the point in advertising them, lol? It seems that the options are limited to wholesaling them to a dealer for export, and violating State or Federal law.
(I know he could export them himself, but I didn't get that feel from the ad).
Am I missing something?
Is there an option I'm overlooking?

As long as I raised this subject, I'm curious - have a lot of burm breeders decided not to bother, or at least minimized their production? What impact are people seeing on pricing? (Are people dropping prices to unload babies in state, or raising them because there is less competition now?)
 
While I can't really comment on why the seller wrote it that way, it probably should have said "No FL Saleswithout conditional permit" since it is still possible, though not easy, to get the FL permit (and of course some already had permits before the ban).

I don't know if breeders are cutting back, but I was considering getting a few high end burm morphs before the Lacey Act change, and the law change made me change my mind...the breeder I was going to purchase from encouraged me to wait and see what happened with the law change before buying and I was glad I did.
 
Unfortunately the black market on the snakes added to the lacy act is being built. Honestly when was the last time your vehicle got searched when you traveled over state lines. I distinctly remember it only happened to me one time. I was pulled over for speeding, and the officer asked if he could search, I agreed and got off with a warning. I could have easily said no and probably walked away with the ticket.
