    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 recently attended the East Texas Herpetological Society Show on September 30th, 2012. I wasn't looking to purchase anything, but when I came across Laura's table, I was blown away by the quality of her animals. I got a chance to talk to her about her animals and ended up picking up a Lesser male from her. It's been about three weeks since I've had him and he is perfect. He is mite/disease free and was eating live just like Laura had said. He was correctly sexed as well.

Laura is a great person to buy from because she actually cares about her snakes. I almost picked up an adult normal female from her and I was touched concerning the love she has for her animals. They all have names, all in very good health. She's a small-time breeder but she takes an interest in all her snakes, even her new hatchlings. She wants what's best for them. She's more concerned about their health than making a fast buck or two.

Not only does Laura care about her animals, but she cares about her customers too. I talked with her for over an hour and we discussed the snake I was getting as well as the snakes I already had and my breeding plans.

Overall, I rate Laura Rice as a great seller!
