    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....

I was wondering if someone could cover how to properly package reptiles for shipping. You know...Packaging for Dummies. Very basic instructions that a kid could understand. I just want to make sure I do it right and no harm happens to the animal because of my mistakes. I've never shipped and I'm a little worried about getting bashed on BOI if I do it wrong. I've read here and there about people using styrofoam etc. Doesn't that have to have holes in it. Is there an outer wrap or just a box? I have no clue. Please help. I'll be shipping snakes. Thanks for your input!
 
Clay Davenport made a very nice page that will walk you through the whole process.

Many thanks to Clay for being so willing to share his knowledge. He is one of the people in this hobby that I truly respect and admire.
