    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 had lent Kim a surplus male Sanzinia in the hopes of sparking her pair into breeding mode as they were doing nothing. App. 3 weeks later my male died while at their facility! As many of you know, situations like this can quickly turn South....not with these stand-up people.

Without even batting an eye Kim offered me her male in compensation and threw the female in hoping I can get them to breed as they were stagnant for her...somehow, someway I'll muster up the $$ to buy her from them so as to not split up the pair.

Let me be clear, the value of that male Sanziniais in no way worth the freindship/relationship I share with Ken and Kim. I was open for anything. There are always a myriad of potential solutions to a situation like this but they "cut through the crap" and offered the above.

The integrity shown by Ken and Kim should speak volumes to all who read this. Even in the face of a potentially dicey situation (we all know the accusations/back-peddling that typically arise from similar occurrences) they took the high road.

Anyone can sell something, its when things go bad that true character emerges...as demonstrated so effortlessly by these fine people. Buy from them with confidence knowing they are truly there for their customers when any situation arises.

Bill,

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Most of the time we all know we simply don't hear about the good, as people tend to only post when they feel they were wronged.

Ken and Kim ARE good people and seldom get recognition for the huge effort they put into the herpetological community. Kudos to them for everything they continue to do, and to you as well Bill.

Thanks for the kind words! You are absolutely correct. "Bad Guy" posts far outweigh the "Good Guy" notices..and also attract many more hits as well. I'm a huge believer in Karma and what goes around will eventually come back around..both good and bad. If you don't have your integrity, what else matters?

I am happy to call Ken and Kim good friends. I have known Ken about 10 years and he has always been a stand up guy.
