• 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....

Lauren Rost "Winter" and I have been working on a trade for a few weeks now. I was waiting till the deal was wrapped up to comment about my trade with her.

Well, it is - and I'm highly impressed with this lady. Her attitude and methods/abilities were very professional and she handled the entire deal from start to finish in that same manner.

Excellent communication, excellent shipping, HEALTHY animals.


Thanks again Lauren.

Definitely a Very Nice Person....

to do business with. A short while ago Lauren and I did a trade and everything went perfect from her side of the deal. I received a healthy animal that was as described and packed properly. On the other hand I sent her an animal that ended up to be the wrong sex (my bad of which I take full responsibility) and she has been very understanding and cooperative about the situation. Let's face it as hard as we try, when dealing over the net, not everything always goes without a hitch. When there is a problem, however, people show their true colors. From my personal firsthand experience I can tell you that Lauren is a sweetheart to work with. I very much appreciate her patience and integrity. I hope to have our situation amicably resolved shortly. Thanks again Lauren for the quality animal and for being so understanding.
 
She is a great lady...

I had an Amazon tree Boa that a friend had stuck me with and I had no idea what to do with it. Lauren told me she would take it and get it back to health, well, she has been sending me email updates on him all the time!! She is too cute and she truely cares about her animals!! Kudos Lauren!!
 
Thank you all for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with each of you and I would gladly do so again. :) I've said it before and I'll say it again- it is people like you that make this hobby such a great one!

I recently sold her a rat snake on "layaway" terms, which I don't do very often. She sent the payments when she promised and the whole deal went smoothly. She is very nice, and easy to work with.
