    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....

You ship ground?
Not to mention you are offering to ship snakes by post office on another thread. Can you say Federal Offense for both you and your buyers?
Turtles and Snakes are prohibited to be sent through the post office!
 
Not to mention that most these people are wasting money, since you can go to a local rescue and get 10 sub adult, adults, or baby RES for FREE, just need to adopt them, RES are everywhere, there are thousands that need homes, so why do you buy one?
 
I do have a few left but already up for auction, Out of 800+ turtles sent out this year mostly priority mail, 1 was reported back to me as DOA and 2 were reported some time later as being sick but never sent back a message as being dead as of this day. If you pack them the right way you should not need to worry, but some people have a problem with that. P.S. you are not allowed to ship through UPS or FED EX i worked for UPS for 5 years in the Mesquiete hub. So I guess you have to break the news to everyone that they cannot sell their animals anymore unless they use airport to airport or DHL not really sure if you can ship a variety through DHL either. Be sure to reply with any rude comments that you wish.

First there is a difference between shipping UPS or FedEx vs the Post office. If you ship UPS or FedEx and you are not a verified shipper it is against company policy but not a federal crime. If you ship by the post office it’s a federal offense. Period!

Second, it is very easy to become certified with FedEx. If you need help doing it the right way then you can look up the threads in the shipping forum.

Third, If you continue to ship snakes through the post office as you are doing in your other ads the rest of this community is going to come down on you hard. There is no reason to take the chance by sending via ground service any snake. The bad publicity alone and can have a huge effect on our hobby.

This site has hundreds of breeders doing it the right way. Sending your test package into FedEx and being certified is as easy as 1,2,3. If you think I'm being rude consider yourself lucky that the rules for posting have changed recently.
 
where is the bad publicity besides you. No other website has a problem. and most of the people i get stuff from do the same. I will look into different means, I do understand what you mean, I only ship overnight in the summers and winters for the safety of the animals. But when temps are right at both ends and between, I have had only one fatality, and have shipped many many things. Plus if the US post office will let me ship my fish priority mail I do not see the big deal if no one is dying. If they were I would have a problem with it. As a matter of fact I have had and herd of more fatality when dealing with ups due to temps in the warehouses. But i am still unaware of being allowed to ship with them. sorry for the argument, I will look into other means of shipping. Would you think USPS express is acceptable??
 
zip code-67501

hey do you have any babies left?
postal code 12979
