    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'm surrounded by several people who own snakes, so I finally decided to jump on the band wagon! They all had varying recommendations as to where to purchase my first snake, so I ignored them all and went on my own hunt. Fauna amd several other resources mentioned South Mountain Reptile for corn snakes, so after much debate, I ordered my first Okeetee Corn last week. He was born in 2015 and is just wonderful. He came in 1 day. I was notified immediately by Don that he was on his way with a tracking number. He came well packaged and very curious. I checked him out and he looked wonderful. I gave him a few days to adjust and have been handling Rhaegar(my snake) for the past few days and he's so nice! Curious, not head shy--clearly well handled. Don has also been wonderful about getting back to me with any questions I may have and his care sheet was the most inclusive I've seen. Can't say enough wonderful things!! Highly recommend!

You picked a great guy to get your first, second, third, and one-hundredth snake from! Don is a great guy with a MASSIVE wealth of knowledge. Excellent choice!
 
I know! Everyone keeps telling me this won't be my last snake--which is fine if I'm getting them from Don!

I've bought several corn snakes and a western hognose from Don. The animals are always healthy, well-packaged for the journey and as represented. Don is also generous with his experience and willing to answer questions after the sale.

I keep going back to him for those reasons.
