• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Now this is how to ship a snake....

Actually, that's one of the first things I notice each and every time I recieve reptiles. No insulation = crappy shipping job.

For that reason, I have started sending packaging instructions to just about everyone I purchase from. There's just too many people out there who think they can stuff a snake in a cardboard box and drop it in the mail. Not if you're sending it to me...

There's just no good reason to skip the insulation. It is just way too important!
 
That, and it doesn't appear that the snake had any extra padding with it in the box--it can slide all over that shoebox and get nicely banged up! No wonder it looks ticked in that one pic!!
 
So do you guys think a complaint is in order? I did think or that last one...There was nothing but sheets of newspaper in the bottom of the tub.....She has fed this morning and has calmed down.....
 
I don't know that I would complain...she arrived safely, though I think I would email the guy and tell him you're not happy with the way she was shipped, and give him some suggestions on how to ship a bit better--direct him to Scales website (www.exoticlizards.com I think) they have insulated shipping boxes for cheap...
 
I just received an order from scales..Awsome boxes...Ill direct him here...
 
Send him a link to Clay Davenport's packaging/shipping instructions...

Sometimes a little "helpful" info is all a person needs.

But then again - there's some BIG TIME people out there who have aweful packaging skills, and if you complain about them, they'll tell you to go fly a kite.
