• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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 purchased a female Hypo Brazilian Rainbow Boa from Trace Hardin on October 12, 2013 at the NARBC Tinley Reptile Expo. She is a gorgeous BRB that is very healthy. Here is a picture of her for anyone who wants to see an example of the BRB's that he produces. Needless to say, I am very happy with my purchase.

Trace is indeed a good guy! I've known him for a long time and always enjoyed doing business with him. He is a true herper's herper and has top notch animals.
 
i agree completely with David. I've had a few different opportunities to talk with Trace, both on facebook and in person. My impression has always been that he's a great guy, cares about the animals and people, and really knows his stuff. That degree he has, and all the field work has paid off for him.
 
I've met Trace a couple of times and done business with him from both sides, selling to him and a buying/trade deal...he takes great care of his animals and is very friendly and easy to do business with. I don't doubt we'll probably do business again in the future at some point in time and I'll look forward to it when it comes.
