    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 am considering joining a team.

I have been a one man operation and have hit a point where I just cant manage everything myself. I am a networking person by nature. I orinially entered Reticulated python breeding goals and ended up in more areas than one person should do alone.
I have a computer background so the web sites and social networking and online sales came easy.
Now I sell my reptiles, other breeders, supply pet shops with wholesalereptiles, work shows, breed, clean, feed, design logos, websites, answer my sales calls and calls for other breeders. I post for others that either cant and even teach various online promoting to others.
I build semi partnerships with breeders so that they are able to profit in areas they didnt know of. And I take a small part that was agreed on.
I build and sell caging sometimes and sell and breed a few types of feeders. I even goto shows and represent sometimes a few peoples reptiles. I buy and resell online mostly. I even have started setting up other breeders with new types of things to breeder and split with...
And it is just to much for one person. I am not complaining I am asking for help sort of. I have some areas that I want to explore and expand in but cant.
So I wondering if there is another way now. I would like to focus on shows, online areas, networking, sales and trades.
I figure i can either go big and hire some help and take a gamble on others.(I have had empoyees before and it is a rough go until good ones finally arrive) or I can see if there is someone who could use my skills either as a partner type or even hire me.
And I would love to relocate. Or travel doing a show route and breeder supplier/trader.

Hi Jim, my advice would be to focus on 1 thing and be the best you can be at it.something you may not want to hear is stay away from the troubled pet industry if you have any dreams of striking it rich.
