    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Wanted Western diamond back

Jesus Christ….two pages of a goddamn b*tch fest about “who has experience”, who doesn’t, “who’s gonna get tagged”, who isn’t…..who gives a shit! People get “tagged” going on walks and hikes into the mountains!

These are grown ass men (or women) making their own decisions….find something else to concern yourselves with! No wonder people are getting so sick and tired of this hobby and leaving it. This “social media age” has EVERYBODY thinking they’re a goddamn expert on everything 🙄

STFU!

So again, you're saying we should prioritize the stroking of people's egos, and letting the taxpayers foot the bill for their negligence? You didn't actually answer my questions. Maybe start with that before you try to call me out for "assumptions and harassment."

Recommending that an obviously inexperienced person get experience before buying a deadly animal is a suggestion. It is not harrassment. Neither is pointing out faulty logic, like 'I'm a brand new keeper who has never been tagged, therefore the statistics are wrong.' Part of being a responsible member of the venomous community involves calling out blatant ignorance and inexperience. If that bothers you - well I frankly don't give a flying fuck.

Anyone asking for a payment plan on one of the cheapest animals in the hobby clearly has no experience, so I wasn't assuming. It's pretty easy to spot a complete noob. And fyi - he just told you that this would only be his 2nd hot, and the OP is his gf (who has no experience at all) helping him get one. So keep crying about my "assumptions and harassment." Dude just told you I was spot on, and he also admitted to being a liar. A few posts ago he had 6 hots. Now he supposedly has (or had) 1, and is looking for a 2nd. My bet is he's lying about that, too - because he knows no one is going to sell him one with no experience.

Before you respond - remember to answer my initial questions before you start in on the shit talk. The ones you conveniently ignored the last time I asked them. If you're not going to answer those 2 questions, then don't even waste your time responding. 😉

So what you're saying is that we should prioritize people's egos... And when those people end up in the hospital due to their own negligence - we should pass the bill on to the tax payers? Am I understanding that correctly?

and no i agree we should honestly not stroke peoples egos but right now feels like we are stroking yours just saying, BUTTTTTT anywhoooo i do think that it shouldnt be other peoples fault and that yes there should be more experiance involved but i also dont think you have my number therefor you dont know me well enough to have an issue with me or my gf, my gf is only trying to help me finaiaclly and your just being an ass lol

And fyi - he just told you that this would only be his 2nd hot, and the OP is his gf (who has no experience at all) helping him get one. So keep crying about my "assumptions and harassment."

if you read you can see i neverrrrr said i have 6 hots that was chrisx1975 who said that! I have a copper and hopefully now a eastern diamondback already texting people for the rattler just paid today. so no not lying why are you still even responding if you dont care so much? obvs bothered a lil bit, how do you know i dont have years of experiance with snakes or even venomous snake? and shes not getting the snake its so she can buy it for me lol

I agree. It's almost as bad as people who jump in the middle of a conversation that doesn't involve them - just so they can complain about the conversation.

No one is forcing you to read anything. You do realize that, right? And the whole point of a message board is for people to communicate with each other. Sometimes people disagree. So how about you follow your own advice, and "STFU!"

Just a thought. 🤷‍♂️

My mistake about the 6 hots. And the reason I keep responding to you is because you keep asking me questions. Seems kind of strange to ask someone a bunch of questions, then get pissy when he answers them. This could have ended with "you should probably get some more experience first" -- but instead you kept asking me things. Was I not supposed to respond? Is that it, I'm the asshole for giving honest answers to your questions?

I recommended having good insurance and proper protocols for the same reason I would tell someone to keep a fire extinguisher in their kitchen. No one plans on having a fire, but if one does happen - at least you're prepared. I don't have to care about you personally to point out that having good insurance and proper protocols is a good idea if you keep venomous animals.

Want me to stop? Then quit askin me shit, lol. You coulda done that from the get go dude.
