    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....

I seen an ad posted here for Hypo Tangerine. Look at this picture. I would call it a Hypo High Yellow? Let me know what all you think. I may be wrong. Please let me know.

Franklin, no I wouldn't call that a Hypo tangerine infact I wouldn't call it a Hypo at all. In every part of herptoculture except the leopard gecko world hypomelanistic refers to a recessive genetic trait. These color mutations in leopard geckos where brought about by line breeding thus making them polygenetic (I think that's the word). You can't have a het. for hypo leopard gecko. Speaking from the leopard gecko world point of view that animal would probably be considered a hypo high yellow, but it's a very poor quality picture. Since we are dealing with polygenetics and no standards have been set these names are all subjective. IMHO
