    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....

Nature Coast Exotics - GREAT FOLKS!!

As Curator of the Wildlife Discover Center I have to be very careful in who I give high 5's to as my reputation is on the line. I normally don't publicly endorse companies but every now and then I feel compelled to give credit where credit is due. Mary and Chris at Nature Coast Exotics have been some of the nicest people I have ever dealt with in the herp business. Their commitment to customer service and satisfaction, and quality are exemplified in my dealings with them. Although I don't want to get into any specifics on particular transactions, I'll just say that the animals we have received from them have been superior in terms of quality and always honestly represented. They follow through in a timely manner and provide ongoing husbandry advice on everything that they sell. For that, I want to publicly give the gang at Nature Coas a big HIGH FIVE.

Rob,
Perhaps you should have performed a search on this company before you posted.
I did, and found a lot of unfavorable posts.

Randal - had he followed your advice, Rob might not have had the great transaction that he ended up having.
 
Frank, thats so true. However, the BOI has a great search function thats informative.
I'm happy Rob had a great transaction though after all of the negative things said about Nature Coast.
