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.

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....

Before this goes any further.....
A week or so back , Paulina came into chat asking about the sick VBB. We all agreed it was some form of RI and recommended vet treatment. We got excuses as to why she couldn't take it to the vet. The snake had been sick for 2 - 3 weeks at this point according to the info given from Paulina.
She came in chat night before last , said she had a vet appt. for the next day but her mother wouldn't drive her the 2 hours to get there. She asked how to put it down since it was not going to receive treatment and wanted to end its suffering. I gave her a list of options starting with a heart stick from vet on down to the fastest way with minimal pain.
The whole time this was going on I had no idea nor been told the animal was listed for adoption. Going by the information given , a 13 yr old girl , a mother that wasn't going out of her way to help , the cold across most of the country and lack of shipping experience , I gave her the advice I would give anyone else. I also told her not to get anymore animals until she had a job and transportation of her own.
In the same conversation I was told all but 1 bp was going up for adoption since she was leaving the country. I asked if she researched getting the snake into Poland and the ability there to care of it. Naturally no research had been done at the time as I'm sure none had really been done prior to her purchases.
At no time did I make any of my advice easy on her. I was rough , rude and blunt the same as I would be with an adult. She should have made arrangements with her parents to cover vet visits and treatment along with the other things that come with the responsibility of owning a pet.
Considering the time line I was given , I had doubts the animal would survive shipping from an experienced person. She wanted to end its suffering and had no way to do it the proper way. I would hope she learned a lesson and I find fault not just with her but with the parents as well. If the proper steps had been taken , this thread most likely would not exist.

Bryon, Thank you for your post. I did ask how long the snake had been sick and I wondered about the shipping (I know it is hard even on a healthy snake). <SIGH> I do hope a lesson has been learned.

Oh good lord. I don't think he was worried about the shipping cost just about the snake he gave you in good will.
Don't you think it would have been polite to ask him if he wanted the snake??? that he sent you for FREE out of the goodness of his heart.

Ya know.. go back.. Look at all of Paulina's RUDE, posts to people who do not care properly for their pets..
makes me wanna slap someone thru the computer.
How many times have you tried saying that your age is NOT important Paulina??
I think that you have proved time and time again, that in your case.. it obviously is.
Don't come in here making up LAME excuses..
"I knew he would eventually die."
so will you.. so will I.. I just got over a cold.. good think no one knew that I would eventually die..
you have no excuse.. you had a home offer... you had a taxi cab..
you just are too ignorant and irresponsible to care properly for an animal.
OH..
and by the way.. if someone sent you a free snake.. the respectable thing to do is OFFER TO SEND IT BACK
if I was kind enough to give you something free.. and you could no longer care for it.. I would want it back.
the fact that you obviously are irresponsible, means that your judgement as to what a good home for that snake would be, may be greatly impaired.
and as someone said earlier.. I am gonna stop before I end up getting into trouble.
lets just say..
not..
pleased..

I would have liked a heads up if she couldn't care for it any longer.
I would have even paid the shipping back just to make sure it was taken care of.

Because you care for the well being of the animal..

I wish others could think that way.

What do you mean by I will fit in just fine? Do you have a problem with Polish people or something?critical bill said:

Personally I would at least give Steve something back towards it. He shipped it to you, free snake/free shipping and you didn't even keep it 6months plus you didn't even give him the option to have it back (Were you even going to tell him you had given it away?)
Some friendly advice- Until you are able to drive yourself to the vets or at least have reliable transportation/ until you are responsible enough to look after pets properly (In SICKNESS and in health) then keep to something simple like a guppy or goldfish.

I'll answer your questions if you'll answer mine.
1) How do you keep a polish person in suspense?
2) Is it true the polish army has a kamikaze pilot that has flown 48 successful missions?
3) Is it true that Poland is planning on sending a team of astronauts to the sun but to avoid causality they are going at night?
4) Is it true that a polish loan shark lends all his money out and then skips town?

The snakes are no longer available for adoption. There may be some valid points people might want to continue to address with this listing, but they would probably be more suited for a couple of different sections depending on which questions or statements you might want to pursue.
