    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....

UPS Will Now Ship Non-Venomous Snakes

I'm actually going to ship a snake UPS next week, via Ship Your Reptiles. The buyer is over three hours from the nearest FedEx Ship Center, so this should be a nice option.
 
Get an agreement in writing from them. They were shipping for me way back when and then yanked the rug out from under me with some asinine claim that some of my snakes had escaped from the box. I checked ALL of my customers and not a one of them had any losses. My guess is that some local manager got a bug up his butt about snakes in general. Must have looked at the label and looked up what the latin name stood for.

I didn't find out about it till I was waiting for a pickup and the driver told me he could no longer pick up packages from my facility.
 
I don't have a dog in the hunt relative to FedEx or UPS. I have used FedEx for many years with satisfaction. I would not be deterred from using UPS either. I don't have a written agreement with FedEx and would like to better understand what you mean by having a written agreement with UPS. What year was your mishap with UPS? Thanks.
 
Oh it was a long time ago. But regardless, left a very bad taste in my mouth.
