• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

sale gone bad... opinions needed

James, I think your girlfriend should foot the bill for shipping and pay you for the snake...

Just kidding...

Allot of times my job doesnt allow me to be home when I need to ship an animal out. My wife helps me out on that occasion. She knows almost nothing about reptiles or shipping reptiles. If I cant pack it myself that morning, then I do as much as I can for her and I leave her tons of sticky notes regarding what to put where and how. What I really like to do is have her call me on the phone when she is ready to pack and walk her through it step by step. I take every precaution possible because all my animals are very important to me as well as anybody purchasing one. I wish I could do it myself all the time, but I cant.

Another thing that would help with communication is to tell your customer of your guarantees, replacement conditions, and what you expect them to do ahead of time, god forbid,if something does go wrong. I can understand wanting the animal returned. There is almost as many corrupt customers as there are sellers. The only way I would know for sure if it was my animal, would be if I had it in my own hands.

I also get my customers phone number when they order, just in case something was to happen to my computer/email during shipping so I can call them.

Your doing the right thing by paying the fedex charge and replacing the snake.
