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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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....
Monitor ID please!

I will at least mention that this was being listed at over $15k if that helps at all?
It looks like an albino water monitor, but I'm not an expert, I also do not know whether or not they are worth $15k.

Thanks Elena - that is what it was being sold as T-Albino Water Monitor.
This additional picture is from NERD (link) for comparison.

Maybe the poster meant T+? I'm not familiar with monitor morphs either, so not sure if T+ water monitors are known to exist or what their value would be. Just looks more T+ than negative, if it's not just a poor quality photo with too much flash.
T+ water monitors do exist.
The NERD photo shows a recently hatched T- water monitor, pink with yellow spots. As they become older they are more of a yellow/tan color.
That being said, the seller's photo is so bad that I can't tell if it is T- or T+. That's why I simply said "albino water monitor." Maybe someone more experienced can weigh in.
What baffles me is why someone selling an animal for 15K can't bother to photograph it properly. If they were able to buy such an expensive animal, surely they can afford a decent camera, and if they expect to get that much for it, surely they can take the time to get a good photo, try it with and without flash, maybe use some lighting to show the animals true colors. I sold a normal baby KSB this year, for $50, and he was photographed with a professional-quality camera, with lighting, on a background. And he looked great.

T+ might be the case. I haven't gone too deep yet, but if it is a T+ vs. a T- that could mean the difference of a $22k(T-) vs. $4k(T+) animal from what I've briefly seen. Bad picture, too much flash. On purpose? I don't put it past people. Buy a T+ and try to pass it off as a T-?
Thank you both for your thoughts thus far.
