    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....

Shipping Snakes UPS is Illegal

It's important to note that the invoice that accompanies the box cannot be INSIDE the box. They specifically require it be attached to or accompany the shipment in a fashion that is easily accessible.
 
Just caught with this convo. Looking to ship american alligators 1 at a time..., so now im dealing with threatened species. Does anyone has the info im looking for? it would save me a lot of time. thank you
 
Well, as it applies to this thread, alligators cannot be shipped via UPS - per UPS policy.
They can, however, be shipped via the USPS, as long as they aren't over 20 inches in length.
 
At that size, I would think you would be restricted to the airlines, simply due to the packaging requirements of a crocodilian that size. NorthWest Airlines and Delta have been recommended for some time (though I don't know if NorthWest's policies have changed since their purchase by Delta). I did contact Southwest at one point - I'll have to see if I can locate my notes on those discussions. For some reason, I seem to recall them not being a reasonable option; but I don't know if that is related to their policies, the process, or something totally subjective like me getting irritated with somebody on the phone :shrug01:

I'm curious about another issue - will PM you.
