    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....

Iowa reptile show and sale! Des Moines, IA

Yes IMO and many others... there is a night and day difference between KC and the D.Moines show. As much as it saddens me to say it. I have vended The KC show many time and it ALWAYS has a NICE turn out with alot of great people.
I feel D.Moines has great potential. But alot more could be done to promote the show,to pull in more people,venders,ect...
 
yeah the website isn't easy to find nor updated often. ) :

Right! With all of these herp related sites,forums ect...It would take very little effort for the show directors. To jump on the net place some ads,post on forums ect.... To turn a mediocre show into a great show.

Same goes for Iowa herpetological society. Most people dont even know IA has one :(
 
wait your in Albia, lol i just noticed your in iowa, do we have anything that's reptile related around us? shops,shows,anything?

Nothing thats close. I know a few people close with some pretty big private collections. That I wheel and deal with, but that is about exciting as it get for me without going for a road trip.
