    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....

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

This lovely couple has been hanging around between the rodent building and the reptile building. Think they are thinking about starting a family of little skinkettes?

A Pair of Skinks in the Neighborhood

The picture of the 2 skinks labeled "2 skinks in the neighborhood" look like the skink that I brought home over the weekend can anyone tell me what kind they are and how do I tell male from female???

any info would be greatly appriciated...
 
Skink id...

They are either Broad-headed Skinks or Five-lined Skinks. The males have the red head in both species. They feed well on insects and the Broad-heads will even feed on smaller lizards. The Broad-heads are much larger than the Five-lined as adults. The Broad-head is also only found in the northern half of Florida.
 
Aw man I really like skinks. When I used to go to St. Augustine I saw a lot of critters running around but not skinks.
