• 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 - CrocodilianDelv

I moved this one from the crocodilians for sale section, since it's definitely a post for the BOI.

Secondly, posted a reply to the ad, as it proposes illegal behavior. To begin with, both animals advertised are too large to be shipped legally via USPS. Also, the spectacled caiman is an ESA species, the interstate commerce of which, is regulated.

I should also add that, after looking at this person's other ads, I feel that crocodilians might not be the only thing being shipped illegally...
$60 shipped for a timber rattlesnake... $125 shipped for a gaboon viper. Then again, he could be getting a helluva deal on air cargo and wooden boxes that conform to IATA regulations. :rolleyes:
 
That's not only stupid, but very dangerous for anyone in the PO that's going to handle that package!.... Somebody ought to just forward those posts to the proper authorities, and let them "thin out the herd"!!....
