    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....

Reticulated With Care

Hello everyone, the fellow that was causing the drama on this thread was the old store manager of Pet America. He knowingly selected the "rescued" retic and donated as he was aware that the store was selling and the new owners were going to end his employment. It was not at the fault of the SCHA nor Pet America. As the former owner, I want to apologize to everyone on this thread for his actions. Brian was terminated after he was caught stealing money and product from the store and 2 years later I am still trying to clean up his mess. Lat I heard he was running from the Sherriff's and was in Santa Rosa Ca. If anyone has a store or knows A Brian St. Louis he is a wanted criminal and owes me, Aaron's Rent-A-Center in upwards of $30K. But that is not for this forum. Again, I apologize for his actions, for me not catching it earlier (Thank You Serg for pointing this out to me) and for the loss of the python. It was not a snake that was for sale in the store, it was an import that was purchased by a 14 year old kid at the Santa Fe Springs Swapmeet and he couldn't handle the temperament nor afford the proper housing for the snake. The snake was supposed to be going to a rescue to be rehabed and adopted. I think You did a great thing by attempting to give the snake the life it deserved and again, am sorry for the loss and for the former employees actions. Please accept my apologies (all be it a couple years after, but I responded as soon as I found out about this).
