    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....

Why the duck did I buy from Petsmart in the first place?!

Hi.
Uh. How should I start...
well. okay. hi. I'm Rei, a (socially awkward) teenage girl, from NJ. I've loved animals my entire life; especially reptiles. My first reptile (which I really didn't get too long ago) was an adorable little albino corn snake from our local Petsmart. Bad idea, to say the least, the poor thing had mouth rot when I bought it, but didn't know what to do for it, so it died a few days later.
I'm a little smarter than that now.
....a little.
Currently, I have a very healthy, very sweet female ball python named Artemis.
Guess where I got here?
...lolnotpetsmartiswear.
I GOT HER FROM PETSMART. And she was NOT healthy, but I had done boatloads of research this time, and knew how to help her. She was showing symptoms of mouth rot from the first day I got her, but I immediately treated her with a cotton swab of peroxide every day until her symptoms eventually went away.
She is currently very healthy, and very sweet. Not a very enthusiastic feeder, though...
In a few weeks I will be taking her to a regular check-up, just to make sure everything's a-okay.

Thanks for welcoming me into the community!

Petsmart is rough to buy from unless the manager is up to speed and cares.
I hope it all works out for you and the corn.
There are a lot of great breeders on here to buy from.
