    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....

You're right Rich.. Another thing about heat packs is they only maintain their peak temperatures as long as the air inside the box does not get too cool. They are not like hand earners that get hot and stay hot no matter what.

This also depends on the size of the box too. If a hatchling is shipped in a 12/12 box then there will be plenty of air. If it's shipped in a small hatchling box then there will not be enough air for the heat pack to work properly without holes. I believe all this should be considered depending on weather also.

It just takes a little practice and some good advice from others to figure it out completely.
 
Monica thanks for the info I have actually been shipping like your recommended way since the incident., and since then I have made several transactions and gotten a good guy post and am actually waiting on one from Carolina classic dragons, David is a great guy, and he has helped me get my good rep back.
 
I recently saw an ad from Stephen for some really nice reverse okeetee and anery corns so I reached out to him to discuss purchasing them. He was quick to respond and we settled on a price. Just before I hit "Send" on Paypal, something told me check the BOI's on this guy before making this purchase. I did and was shocked and disappointed when I saw this thread. I immediately emailed Stephen and informed him that I would not be purchasing the corns from him due to this really bad situation he created. He understood and that was that. About a week later, I receive an email from Stephen asking if I would reconsider and he promised that all would be perfect and that the snakes were the quality I was looking for. After I put some thought into it, I emailed him back and told him that if he felt that confident, he would trust me enough to send me the snakes and once they arrived here safely and healthy, that I would immediately pay him. He agreed.
I have shipped many bearded dragons around this country and I know what I am doing when it comes to safely packaging reptiles no matter what the conditions are outside. Believe me when I say that Stephen did an excellent packing job. The snakes arrived here on the day we agreed to and the communication was great too. I believe everyone deserves a second chance. I think he learned a hard earned lesson from this very unfortunate situation.
 
:) thank you so much David!!! And you have an outstanding reputation so it was easy to trust you. And you were a pleasure to deal with. And i am honored that you gave me that opportunity to prove who I really am. No words could express my true appreciation. Thank you very much!
