    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....

Just received my animals from a trade I did w/ Mr. Cole. As always, they were in fine shape. He went out of his way to help me obtain some other animals from his "neck of the woods". Allowed me to piggyback those in w/ his shipment & made sure I received the proper Health Certificate's I need to have animals shipped into OH. I would recommend anyone to do business with him.....Michael Jolliff

Tim Cole is definately a good guy. we have the pleasure of knowing him and also to see his collection!!!! all i can say is amazing!! one of the most responsible and knowledgable herpers out there!!!!
 
I have to say Tim is OK as well. A few years ago he bought a pair of snakes from me. It turns out he got a pair of females when he actually want a male and a female. He did not discover this until he was going to try to breed them. I have not produced that particular line of snake in a couple of years though I am working on bringing up some to breeding size (false water cobras) and had just moved out the last male I had a few weeks before he let me know of my mistake.

I told him that I would send him a male at no charge when I again produced these snakes and was later able to put in touch with him the person who got my last male. I am hopeful they will be able to work out some sort of breeding arrangement. He was cool, calm and easy to deal with throughout.

He's a class act and a good guy through and through.
