• 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....

In preparation of my Translabyrinthine Craniotomy (neuro surgery) on March 31, which will put me out of full commission for 2-4 weeks, and simply because I am on the road 33-50% of the time otherwise—unable to enjoy my collection as much as I used to and would like to, but I prefer delivering (mostly venomous) reptiles anyhow—I am unleashing half of it (keeping my Acanthophis, Acrochordus, Boiga, Cerastes, Dasypeltis, Hemachatus, Lystrophis, Naja, Sonora, other).

Photos upon request. All animals eating F/T vermin of appropriate sizes, possibly other foods as well (variation = healthier) which I will apprise You of. Ask questions before committing, such as ‘pedigrees’ (I produced or acquired most of these as neonates, and ALL of these are top-notch animals).

Shipping via Obscure Gems Reptiles, please inquire for a quote and payment options. The next itinerary is June 14.

Alternatively, I will ship FedEx for nonvenomous-only orders, please provide Your ZIP for a quote, but I will only ship to HUBs, and You will purchase insurance!

I also vend all Hamburg & Pittsburgh (Cheswick/Harmar House) Reptile Expos with my own tables under my own name: Timothy Gould/Obscure Gems Reptiles.

I don’t need, and don’t want, to sell any of these, so, I'm not going to be haggled on most of it, but it doesn't hurt to try. Just figured they can go to people who can enjoy them more (I have My Lady and a few friends who take care of them when I am gone, but it's not the same).

Good Afternoon Miles. Obviously, We are speaking privately and have addressed both interests, with people before You, but just responding here so people know I don’t ignore LOL.
 
Updated availability and pricing, truncated and cleaned up the ad quite a bit. With much fewer animals now, I will upload some photos soon.
