    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.

    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 ordered and received a vey nice female Marginated tortoise from the Reptile Ranch. She was very well packed, in very good health, exactly as described in their post on Kingsnake.com overall a very pleasant transaction and I will have no problems doing business with them in the future. I just ordered a female Greek tortoise from them and will post comments about that deal when complete. Charles W. Davis, USN Submarine Service Veteran
 
Is this the same Reptile Ranch that has "Live Arrival Gauranteed" on their adds an "No Live Arrival Gaurantee" on the TOS of their web site?
 
They have a live arrival guarantee on their website as well as their posted advertising. I received my tortoise overnight and in great shape, as well as alive.

Just received my second tortoise from The Reptile Ranch and she is in great shape, just as described, very well packed an overall very good deal.
 
I just received an Epicrates striatus (haitian boa). It arrived packaged fine for the weather. It was a bit cold but only due to the fact that it arrived in town at 11am (shipped next day air) and UPS decided this was too late to deliver it. I called and afetr leting them know it was:

1. an alive animal
2. reminded them about NEXT day air

They then said it would be delivered later that day. It finally arrived at 3:46 pm. previosuus to the 2 items above they said it would be redelivered on MONDAY!
 
Perhaps They have improved but a few months ago I ordered 1:2 Arizona mountain kings from them and I received 1:1 Arizona mountain kings ( male never ate on his own and died) and a knobolchi mountain king. I called about the wrong snake as soon as I received them but they both refused to do anything about it.
Bottom line I have dealt with a lot of people in the last several years and they are the only ones who I will never deal with again.
