    **************************************************
    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.

    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....

Scientific America FAILS on Large Constrictor Article

I only found out when I suggested them to a friend down there for a non feeding BP.

One would actually think they'd be more likely to be on the Lacey Act since rats have spread everywhere & they're both rodenty.

Oh! See, rats aren't banned either & they came over as stow aways on ships.

Pigeons & starlings are both introduced and environmentally detrimental species. I think Ohio has laws curtailing starlings.Downtown Cleveland reintroduced predators for the pigeons but breeding of pigeons is still legal.

There are many precedents for dealing with animals that are a concern on a local level at the appropriate local level without the federal government bulldozing in and running roughshod over it's constituents.
