    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.....

    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....

Ok I need advice.

So I have been watching 6 snakes for a "friend", the 7th she gave me and I made er confirm several times just in case something like this happened.

Well the other day she blew up in the group I have on facebook, and it appears it was just a rant and had nothing to do with my group but took it out on my group and banned several people for saying the post was unnecessary and it was.

All that is relevant and you will see it in the screen shots I post after this. But while I was trying to figure out what happened thinking someone angered her in my group and after finding nothing started adding people back and lifting unjust bans she calls me a back stabber and a bad friend. Then threatens to ruin my life if I keep her snakes, which I never said I would. So I post the screen shots on fb to protect myself from anything she may say, and several people told me that by her actions the snakes are mine but that's not what I want.

She has been buying and taking in new reptiles while I'm still caring for her collection instead of buying the caging she needs for these animals. It was a slap in the face each time but let it go, she was my friend.

But after all hell breaks loose and she threatens me, etc I still tried to be civil and talk things out, but told her she will be paying for the care of the snakes from now on (is that right of me to do?) I was doing a favor for a friend, now it's even more of a burden caring for someone's snakes that had snapped on me, threatened me, and considers me a bad friend and no longer a friend.

Let the screen shots speak for them selves, notice how I say several times I DO NOT want to keep her snakes yet in the last message she unblocked me for she says I'm keeping them and then basically relinquished ownership? Of them.
 
Crap, realized I need to edit out the profanity, give me a bit.

She has also disabled me 3 times from messaging her, 2 are posted here, the first time was before I sent the "are you ready for a civil conversation" message. And I sent that message as I noticed she unblocked me from messaging her. Am I in the wrong here? And does that last message from her basically give me ownership? I don't want to keep them but I did nothing wrong yet she flipped out on me for no reason and had continued to treat me like trash even though I've been caring for her snakes for free since april with her only buying a few bags of begging and a couple triple packs of eco earth. She also continued to buy and take in animals instead of trying to get the ones I have back.

Elexis,

Your 'friend' appears to be a drama queen. I strongly suggest immediately returning the 6 snakes you were boarding and not responding to any further drama.
If she has been buying additional snakes/reptiles she is keeping them somewhere, and with all that buying has funds for caging, so I do not believe you are putting the snakes in any danger.
She gave you the seventh snake. It is yours to keep.
 
Sorry these got left out because I didn't have to edit profanity out, and I was uploading in order from the ones I did edit to keep them in order.

I live in ohio, she lives in Oregon. I cannot ship them back. I won't risk their lives by shipping them under 40° at night. She's already gotten snow, and it's been in the 20s over night here. And she has then in tanks, she does not have the necessary caging for the boas and pythons. I know this. She bought king snakes and took in leopard geckos and I think bought the one ball and "rescued" the other. She does not have cages for these snakes, I know that or she would have gotten them back by now.

The original post was fine, because you were asking about a situation without identifying the person involved. As soon as you showed who it was, this became a BOI issue.
This thread is locked, you can start a new one on the BOI.
