    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....

We are currently fostering a 4 foot Mexican boa for a rescue.
He is a very special case and needs an experienced
Boa owner to care for him. He is in perfect health to our knowledge.
He can be a pet with special handling , his temper is unpredictable.
He may do well for a breeder. We have had him 45 days and he feeds well on large rats, sheds in one piece. The Adoption fee is 50.00, if you are interesting in providing a home for this neglected, abandoned Boa. Please email me.

[email protected], or [email protected]

his pictures can be found on our website gallery under the name Gomez.

Thank you

Not for nothing but the pictures of people and kids free-handling waglers vipers and putting them around their necks and on their head is about the dumbest thing you can post on a public website. That DANGEROUS practice should NOT be promoted.
That sends the WRONG message to anyone who looks at your site. It doesn't matter what temple they are in. It is dangerous.

This guy needs his head examined. Letting his kids put them on their heads. Dumb move.

These other guys are too bright either.

If you bothered to read instead of looking at the pictures, you might discover you just made a fool of yourself.
 
How!
I did read it. I do not care if there has never been a bite. You do not freehandle hots and for a place to post those pictures that deals with rescues is inexcuseable.

This blurb does not remove the fact that you are posting pictures that promote a very dangerous practice.

Below are photos of visitors to the famous Snake Temple in Penang, Malaysia. These photos are not of us, nor of anyone we know. We also do not freehandle venomous reptiles, nor do we recommend doing so. I simply found it interesting that the vipers that inhabit this temple are so docile. If these photos are of you, or someone you know, and you would like them removed please contact me and I will be happy to do so.

Nothing of the sort, email me off the list, since this is clearly not the forum for it, those pictures where found on a public website, there are pictures of people in the temple I don't recommend children purchase Hots and put them on there heads, if you want to go to that temple where it is allowed go for it. You are a HOT head, nobody promotes unsafe practices of hots. My website is free to view, I don't sell or breed anything. Get a life!!
 
You deal with rescues. You know there is misinformation out there about how to care for reptiles. Those types of pictures send the wrong message no matter what blurb you write next to them. Anything like that can be misinterpreted. This hobby has enough problems.

I would expect better from an organization that deals with rescues.
 
We are not an organization, we 2 people that volunteer to foster 1 maybe 2 reptiles. You have flammed me way over the top, because your interpretation of my website.
You have the right to your opinions, I don't agree with your opinion.

You see TV all the time with murders, action adventure I don't recommend you shot people with guns either, but I sure watch TV. People are responsible for their own actions and must account for them, if someone thinks they should put a venomous snake on a child's head, it is has stupid has thinking you can shoot people with guns.

I have a private collection of pets, I posted honestly about a boa I would like to find a home for. Nobody told you to look at the Hot section and give your public opinion.

I will say it again, and for the last time This is not the forum for your debates, I will report you to the moderator.
 
This thread is getting way off topic, this is not the place to debate this. Lets get it back on topic please.
 
Sorry about all that, I felt the need to defend myself against this attack.

We have had several emails on this Boa and has of 12-13-06, he is still available. We may have someone come get him this weekend but, if your still interested please email us. FYI we don't ship, he can be picked up in Houston, Texas. He has been sexed and is a male. We foster one or two reptiles at a time for Recsue Agencies and the agency that this boa came from has a no ship policy. The adoption will be donated back to the Agency. We supply the habitat, feeders and care until a good home can be found.

That should have read Adoption fee will be donated back to the rescue agency. LOL, my typonise needs some proofing.
 
I am so happy to say Gomez has found a loving home with a knowledgable Boa keeper.

I would like to say Thank you to all those wonderful people who emailed me and offered to give challenging fellow a second chance.
