    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....

Good Guy John Michels from Black Pearl Reptiles.

Just wanted to say that John from Black Pearl Reptiles (www.blackpearlreptiles.com) is a really good guy. I just completed a transaction with him that was mainly done through PM's after he found one of my WTB posts.

He communicated with me very well throughout the transaction and the snake I received from him is in very good condition. He packed the snake very well for transit and shipped it out right away.

I will not hesitate to do business with him again. Thanks John!

I'd also like to add my experience with John. We have been talking for several months now back and forth about snakes. He has great communication and some very nice animals. I just sent a payment last night, and look forward to receiving an awesome animal from him.

just got a pair of mexican lined pines from John. They arrived in excellent health and look better than represented in his photos. The transaction was flawless and he answered all of my emails in a very quickly!

Received an Eastern Indigo from John yesterday and could not be more pleased with it. We had a long transaction as I was picky about what I was looking for, and he wanted to be sure that the snake was very firmly established with a good feeding response before sending it to me. Prompt with responses and willing to answer any questions I had. Great guy.
