    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....

Reward Part Deux



Hello Everyone

With all the Rip-offs and scams going on lately
I want to do my part to make this a better HOBBY for those of us who enjoy the keeping of Reptiles

This time hopefully its going to be a Nice Friendly Game along the same lines of "Name That Tune" with a twist
I am going to Post a quote from a certain song
Changed due to Rules




Now for the Quote
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,

[Recorded December 30, 1968, Hollywood]

And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

[instrumental]

Yes, it was my way

You were not wrong just left out a couple of names
 
Hmmm, interesting way to obtain a good guy post. Should have made it harder though.

To think, I did all that, and may I say --- not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things, he truly feels,
And not the words, of one who kneels.

And did it my way!

I did it my way.

By the way, I don't want the snakes, so we can auction them off and send the proceeds to the Officer Stanley C. Reaves Memorial Fund (set up by Norfolk Sheriff Bob McCabe -- Bank of Hampton Roads - Account number 79006914), a police officer shot and killed in the line of duty last week here in Norfolk (adjacent to a property that I own). I'll cover shipping.

Perhaps you can post photos of the animals. And yes, you may contact me.

Attempting to BUY a Good Guy thread there dennis? You receiving a Good Guy thread for this "deal" is not only making a mockery of the BOI but is a complete and total farce.

They are your snakes if you want to auction them and have me send them to the winner of the auction is up to you
But how will we handle the stipulations?

I disagree
i feel that a good guy thread is from a good transaction
It shouldnt matter if they are Free or not
 
DAND said:
Whether you agree or not it is irrelevant. A good guy thread is done when “Joe Blow” goes above and beyond, not when “Joe Blow” just sends what is agreed upon.

Your point is noted and appreciated...Thank You David

--but that's up to the buyer to decide. I don't think it should be a stipulation in a deal, Dennis. And I agree with what David said, it would be making a mockery of the BOI, just like when some members vote an "outed bad guy" a good guy on the GGC. I don't have much appreciation for someone who wants to make a mockery of such things. If you wanted to give the snakes away, post them up for adoption. Don't play games.
 
Again

Anyone with the IQ over 15 knows you are attempting to buy a Good Guy thread and make a mockery of the BOI. Making a stipulation as you did above is ludicrous.
 
Points taken
It is not my intent on insulting the BOI or anyone here
However i stand by my words on this post
And whether i get a good guy thread or not wont hurt anyone here

I will answer this once and once only Dennis. I will keep my word just as soon as you keep your word on ALL of the commitments that you have made to me. Interpret it how you will, but it is a fair quid pro quo.

Dennis,

You know exactly what I mean. You cannot possibly have that short a memory.
