    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.....

    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....

Is Sean a good guy to work with? I'm looking to buy two female beardies and a female Ball python from him. His animals look great and I have a good feeling about him but I just wanted to see if anyone has some input. If I don't hear anything by the time I buy I will be sure to post my experience.

I have done business with Sean before. I was interested in a fewsub-adult and adult male leucistic Texas rats available in NC, and he had one. He was very open and upfront, very willing to communicate, sent lots of pics, and I did eventually purchase the snake from him. Sean was very polite in e-mails and over the phone, and told me I could come there to pick up the snake rather than have him ship it if I wanted. I live in Southern VA, so instead of shipping, I just drove to his shop to pic the snake up. Everything was very clean in the shop, and all his animals looked very healthy.

The snake I got from him bred with my female and produced eggs this year. I hope you have as good an experience as I did with him! Please do post after you have made the transaction.

Look up his name here there are at least 3 different BOI threads (all of which are lengthy) describing "transactions" with him. Read them all and then make your decision.

Based on the evidence, I am going to presume that this member is a bogus registration and therefore all comments made are, in fact, anonymous. Quite likely it is someone who already has an existing thread in the BOI about this topic, and things this is a cute way to "get even".

This account will be banned and his or her posts removed under that presumption.
