    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....

HI, i would like to know if any one could help me on identifying a snake i found under a concrete slab today. It was around 6:00pm, and it is all grey with a cream colored belly, its abut 1ft long, and it has a somewhat smaller head than its body, please reply if you have ANY idea what this might be. I have a Southern Hognose snake (endangered), and please also let me know if this snake may be able to be contained in captivity with this snake if you think you know what it may be, thank you.
 
Post a picture and you will be more likely to get a proper identification.

As to keeping it with a snake you already have, bad idea. If you do decide to keep it (after catching it legally) keep it in its own enclosure. If not legally caught, I recommend you let it go. By the way, this is the 2nd post, I think, wherein you say you are keeping an endangered species. Have you made certain that if necessary you have acquired the license(s) and proper paperwork to keep an endangered species?
