    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Legalities for purchasing Alligators in PA, and OH

Im now coming on the problem of shipping... Finding a service that will legally ship a live small alligator. shipyourreptiles.com has a service agreement through UPS and under that they have a list of accepted and prohibited animals; live crocodilians are prohibited as well as threatened OR endangered species. Delta dash also will NOT ship and or course usps wouldnt.

FedEx Express does not accept live-animal shipments as part of its regular-scheduled service and does not transport household pets such as dogs, cats, birds and hamsters. FedEx Express may accept certain shipments of live animals such as horses, livestock and zoo animals (to and from zoo locations only) on an exception basis if approved and coordinated by the FedEx Live Animal Desk (call 1.800.405.9052).

*if you call that number they will tell you no they will not ship reptiles
 
found my other answer. Deltas "Pet First" service will not ship, they cater to warm blooded. They do not say anything in regards to ToE species, but shipping specs need to me to IATA standards which can be bought here???

Reptiles, other than snakes, need to be placed in a container constructed of wood, plastic or corrugated material. For flight purposes, animals in this category include:

* Caiman
* Chameleons
* Frogs
* Geckos
* Iguanas
* Lizards
* Newts
* Salamanders
* Toads

Delta will not accept shipments of live snake (venomous or non-venomous) or venomous reptiles for carriage from an unknown shipper.
