    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....

What Kind Of Shop Do You Run?

Well when i had last posted  on this topic i was a hobby breeder just enough to make  ends meet !! with a full time job to pay bills.But with careful thought and planning all thats about to change  drastically as i am currently in the planing & design stages of my soon to be brand new snake breeding facility. It is not going to be a huge one but i plan on housing around 15 breeding pairs in it by the first of 2003 and with room to accomodate in the range of 100 babies on average along with yearlings & sub adults in that # figure . this will also be used for the cage building and rodent breeding facility as well.   this will be slated to be in use  up and running with in 30-45 days  i will be working on several breeding projects with super clean columbians , anerys, hypos & het for albinos  along with a number of BCC projects in the wings! so for any one  with questions or just wanting to inquire on possible available animals please feel free to email me a [email protected]
 
Off topic here but...

This is why I hate kids.

They don't know enough to know what they don't know. And they're loud about it. Waving their ignorance like a banner.

And "Kid" has nothing to do with age. There's a coincidental area where many young individuals tend to display this trait but they certainly aren't the only ones capable of it and it isn't an automatic trait that applies to every young individual. Just most of them.
 
Seamus,

            In your post you said " this is why I hate kids ".  What the hell kind of statement is that ?  Kids are the future of the herps, more kids get into herps every year than adults and from what I have seen take better care of their herps than some adults I have seen.  You made a point of saying how kids know it all and wave their ignorance around loudly or something to that affect ..... well that's just kids !  They all know it all and will tell you that you know squat and that just goes along with being a kid. I am speaking from experience since I have an ( almost ) 18 year old son and also a 14 year old son.  And the funny thing is that their friends are the same way .... that's because theyr'e kids.   People may take issue with some of the things that Patrick is saying but that is also because they are adults judging him as an adult expecting him to to be doing everything like an adult would, but he is a kid !!!  I find things wrong with some of things he is saying and I don't agree with the practice of walking around selling animals for free when other people pay to sell their animals, but then again that seems to be common place at that particular show.  The point I am trying to make is that it is fine to tell him where and what he is doing wrong but at the same time you have to applaude him for what he has accomplished so far, as far as his efforts, the responsibility he is taking on, and the fact that like alot of 14 year olds has more than the video games on his mind.  This kid could use some help to be sure but he is off to a good start and I think it's wrong to condemn him and judge him like an adult.  Patrick, you keep up the hard work and always remember you never know it all ..... EVER !!!  Keep an open mind and have fun with your herps.

Also this is extremely common and most normal people doing this are only selling one animal but it gets cramped and i (for example) stay outside until he/she is sold. Its not compltely free tho... all you pay is admission.

I always am open to new ideas. Thanks Happy Herping also Kolleen Jenks please take your time i am in no rush
