    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....

Hello! Over last winter I took in a ribbon snake (previous owner stated that if I didn't take him he was going "out" - winter in MI). He's doing fine, grown a lot. Now I'd like to look for a new home for him, as although he's different and cool (loves fishing for his dinner), I just need the space. But I don't know if you can have ribbon snakes in MI without a license and can't get a response from DNR. I don't know if it's a northern or western, whether it was originally wild-caught or captive-bred, but just want to do what's best for the snake here. I feel there's probably folks that would love to have him, but I want to be sure I don't get myself or others in trouble. Anyone here know? Thanks in advance for advice!:)

You can't buy or sell him but you should be able to give him to someone in your state with a valid fishing license. That is assuming it is native. If it was purchased from a pet shop, they usually get stock from wild caught populations in Florida.
