    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....

My hognose laid eggs today and I was not expecting it, I need to know what to do with them to get them to hatch. I collected them and put them in a tupperware container on damp peatmoss for now. Any help would be great. Thanks.
 
If they are fertile, the best thing to do is to make sure they are in a spot that has a stable temperature gradient and keep them incubating between 80-85 degrees. Peat moss will work if you can keep it moist but not soaking wet. I prefer using vermiculite mixed with water on a 1:1 weight ratio. Make sure your container has an air hole or two (and possibly more as the embryos develop) as the eggs can eventually suffocate once embryonic development furthers. There are a ton of online references as well if you just google for them. Hope that is helpful!
