    **************************************************
    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....

People’s profile says one state but their add says different!!!

Why do we have so many people that have a profile that claims they’re from one state but yet their ad claims they’re from another? This is extremely annoying. I know there might not be a way to prove one way or the other, but I’m so tired of seeing people‘s ads who claimed their in Texas but yet delivery is in Missouri or another state for example. It’s getting kind of ridiculous. I know that I am preaching to the choir, but why can’t people be honest and or update their profile?
 
If it were me, I would avoid doing business with them. Any red flag is just one too many.

For me personally it's adhering to state laws. In new jersey you cannot sell turtles, but you can in PA. Provided they're not a native species and over 4". I live super close to PA, so if I am to meet up in PA, or NY it's technically not my home state. Sometimes I use other areas because I live in a remote area which doesn't see much interaction from the reptile community. However I don't plan on selling again in the forseeable future so.... and I am also just a casual

Well cause some of us travel for a living. My profile is in Mississippi but I live where ever my job takes me and that’s where I do business from. But it is a red flag for some of the sellers on here
 
I travel for work but I do have a home base where my animals are at and I make my way back there when the job/work is done. I don’t believe that people who travel with work travel with reptiles. Living out of hotels, extended stays and/or Airbnb‘s. We all have a home base.
