    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....

So I contacted my local FOX affiliate a week ago and today they contacted me saying they were very interested in the story after doing some research. They wanted to talk to locals in my are about this so with permision I gave them the contacts of some "mom and pop" exotic pet stores around here as well as the breeder that runs our states reptile show. Hopefully something to help get the word out better. And hopefully a posotive one as well.
 
Great job! Hopefully it will do some good. Maybe you can get copies of the broadcast to send to those with our livelihood in their hands.
 
Crap

No updates. Sent the guy all the contact info he wanted. Called and left messages to make sure he got it. Haven't heard anything. I'm not in the media so I have no idea how long it takes to get a story together or who decides whether it news worthy or not. I mean it's Huntsville, AL. We don't have a whole lot going on here anyway. Frustrated.....calling him again.
 
Update

Good News? Or to late?

I just got your phone message you left last night. I have gotten all of the stuff. I have not even had an opportunity to research the idea yet. It is going to be a story for next week, so I will check things out this weekend and be in touch with you early next week. So far, I have been interested in what I save received. Thank You

I have also contacted TV and Radio stations in my area. I know of several shows in the country that will have special booths setup for people to sign letters and get information, Repticon will have a booth for USARK to set up and I have heard that the Dixie show will be doing something along the same lines this weekend. I am sure the other shows will also.
