    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....

I am going to a reptile show tomorrow with the intention of buying a snake if they have what I am looking for. I want to check out the whole show regardless. If I find what I am looking for early on, is the expectation that I carry it around for an hour? Is it precedented to purchase an animal and come back for it later? Is there some system of calling dibs implemented by sellers? Am I meant to wait till the end of my attendance and just hope availability is unchanged? Is it considered best practice just to call it a day after making a purchase?

As an aside, vendors will typically accept $100 bills, right?

Thanks in advance. If you have any other relevant tips you think would be helpful, please let me know.
 
Hundreds are typically fine.

Buying early and asking the vendor to hold until you're ready to leave is common, and is a good practice. Vendors will happily put your name on the animal and hold it under the table.
