    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....

Sooo anyone else feeling it?

I have just made a couple more sales this month on here. The thing I like about shows is that people looking for pets are there vice the majority of people here want to breed in some way. That's where the over population and price wars plays a part. I did however just talk to someone here that was willing to pay more for one of my holdbacks. Ultimately I think when prices come down to stabilize it will be better
 
I picked up stuff off this site and sold. I think the stupid reptile auctions on facebook are killing prices and there are so many ball python breeders including myself trying to sell the same product. I don't think the economy is all that great but I find any snake I sell under $250 sells very well and fast. Normal pieds albinos move fast to just every day people that want a snake.
 
I buy all my reptiles here. Just getting back into ball pythons, I was replying to a ridiculous number of ads; finally narrowed down what morphs I hope to get with my budget lol

Welcome back! I completely forgot about this post. It's been over a year now lol. I get plenty of responses on this site, and honestly I'm grateful for every one of them, even though the majority end without a sell. You never know when you'll make a friendship, and I have more on this site than I ever thought I would.
 
I know this is an old thread, but I've only been on FC since February, and I wanted to chime in. I came over from the sister site cornsnakes.com to use the BOI for a problem with a corn purchase. I've now bought 6 BP's, 4 various sizes of bin racks, a 5 tier tower, several Herstats, FT mice and rats, substrate and hides...all from people and businesses on this site. The feedback, trader ratings and BOI coupled with the various informational discussions on this site have opened up a whole new hobby to me. I buy here because this place feels like a community of caring people I can trust. Craigslist is never going to engender that type of confidence and loyalty! Every person who has sold me anything has gone above and beyond with info and really helpful advice for all my questions. AND I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT IF RICH Z HADN'T SENT ME HERE. Maybe there is a way to advertise this site more?
