    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....

Been out of the loop for a few months working on my other lifestyle and remembered hearing something a few months back about having to register and obtain a license for my Nile Monitors as well as a few other species. I know it's probably on here somewhere but can anyone save me the trouble of digging through posts to find it? State of Florida and Michigan.
 
VRC License. The permits for non commercial venomous reptiles and "Reptiles of Concern*" are now one and the same. It's free for hobbyists, just fill out an application and a silly question and answer type test to prove you know what you're doing with the animals.

Burmese
Amethystine
Reticulated
African Rock
Nile Monitor
Green Anaconda

This is only for keeping. There may be other requirements for exhibition or selling.
 
Hey,

If you plan on selling them, or have a class 3 already to sell reptiles the permit is $100. If you already have a vrl for venomous you can have the vrc attached for free now, and then next time it will be all one permit.

thanks
