    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....

Just a quick thumbs up to Michael Beach, a breeder in Portland, OR. My son and I met Michael at the Seattle Reptile Expo in Puyallup, WA in October and bought from him a normal Brazilian Rainbow Boa hatchling (about 4 weeks old).

"Oz," our new BRB, was and remains in excellent health. When he went into shed a few weeks ago, he skipped a meal, which made us nervous. Michael kept in contact with us throughout, and Oz, after finishing a perfect shed, is back to eating every seven days.

Can't recommend Michael enough. Good communication, fair prices, and most important of all a healthy snake. Oz is the gentlest snake we've ever met (even more docile than our two ball pythons and our corn snake).
 
I've met Michael Beach at shows over the years, always enjoyed our conversations. Finally bought something from him. Great service, frequent follow-ups on eating and correct habitat conditions, healthy animal, and a good price. He's on my top dealer list now.
 
Just purchased my second snake from Michael Beach.
A Bluefield Nicaraguan BCI Boa.
He has a wonderful feeding response and shed perfectly two weeks after being with me.
Amazing snake. I'd happily buy another boa from him w/out a shadow of a doubt!
