    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....

OK Thanks, Just wondered.Because everytime it's mentioned on here that someone shipped USPS. EVERYONE jumps on them on how illegal it is and how much trouble they can get into shipping that way, when in actuallity if I read your answer right. The USPS doesn't really follow thier own rules unless a HOT snake was shipped by them.

Which brings me to another question. How would they know if it were a HOT snake vs. a Boa, or corn snake?

People don't jump on them because of how much trouble they can get in. People jump on them because it IS illegal(whether they prosecute or not) and it makes the reptile industry as a whole look bad. I can't even imagine shipping HOTS through anyone but Delta. Though rare packages do get damaged and that is putting peoples lives at risk. If the USPS, FED EX, UPS... decided they really wanted to crack down or stop shipping reptiles all together they could really hurt a lot of people in the reptile industry. Your only options would be buying from shows or using Delta. It is not very hard and it does not cost too much extra to ship things properly. I don't deal in any hots. I only sell ball pythons but I still went through the process of at least getting FED EX certified to ship live animals. It not only makes me feel better about shipping my animals but I think it also makes my customers feel more confident that I am legitimate and not trying to rip them off.
