    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....

Someone tell me please

Hi Kyle-

I would suggest calling your local court house and talking to the zoning department, they are the ones who would know what is legal and what is not.
 
Connecticut laws

A permit is required for the posseession of amphibans and reptiles, this restriction apparently applies to all incomming specimans of native species legally obtained from outside of your state as well as exotic species.

The lise does list all reptiles and monitors so basically you have to have a permit and as long as you do then you can own.

I got this info from a book we use when people are interested in purchasing from outside our state to see if they need permits or if these reptiles can be shipped into there state.

It says contact the Dept of environmental protection for an application. the book in question is:

A Field Guide to Reptiles and the Law
By: John P. Levell
publishers# 612-470-5013 in MN

Hope this helps some.
