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.

    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....

Another Perspective

I would like to bring up another point on this argument that has not been focused on thus far. Being a Health Inspector another issue that I would like to point out on the "secret recipe" mite killer is the bottle of product itself. Even if the mixture was totally benign, mixing it in with a bottle of who-knows-what could make that product toxic. What type of bottle did they send you the secret formula in? Was it a used bottle of some type of household cleaner, another pesticide, or some other type of dangerous chemical? Most benign chemicals mixed with something else can make a "toxic soup" and to me the bottle looks like a used bottle in the photos. Those of you who are stating that shipping unlabeled pesticides is against the law are 100% correct.
I also agree with most here that mites should not happen in this day and age, even on an imported animal. What does a bottle of PAM cost, $15.00? I think that would be worth not having angry customers. I have had the ill fortune of getting mite infested animals in the past and it really ticks me off as well. That alone should be grounds for a refund. Anyone who knowingly ships an animal full of mites obviously has no regard for the well being of that animal and should not be involved in this hobby.

I just read this thread. I'm definitely not going to be ordering any of those Crocodile Skinks they just posted. Has anybody actually contacted any government organizations about their mite killer? Just talking about how illegal it is doesn't really do anything if nobody notifies the feds.

Worst idea ever. The feds don't like the trade as-is.
