    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....

For various reasons I will not bother divulging in the details of, I am stepping away from the keeping/breeding (31/26 years) of serpents to focus on the transport service, on my loved ones, and on my mental n’ emotional health, save four (4), possibly six (6) animals I am keeping. I much more enjoy the transport service and will, vicariously, enjoy herps via continuing to deliver Your long-awaited, precious gems.

The list is below as well as within four (4) screenshots attached (easier text formatting on the phone), and photos/videos will be provided upon request - via phone! So, do text n’ request. Accumulative prices amount to $11,700 (plus a discounted transport fee); You are welcome to take everything for $9,000 OBRO, free transport.

Sincerely,
