    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....

Three Jameson's this time. The one I just finished examining and debrieding under anesthesia was a major mess, totally shattered lower jaw. The first one wasn't bad at all, just a torn jaw ligament and exposed bone ends. Number three has just been premedicated and I'm taking a break to let the meds take effect. Don't know what I'll see inside that mouth but it looked fairly scary from the outside.

Pics to follow over the weeks of their treatment. #2 will almost certainly need surgery.

Anyone wishing to sponsor one or more mambas through recovery is welcome. Needed even; I could really use a helping hand over here. If you want and you're qualified, you get the snake when it's through rehab. A slide show featuring the last batch of rescues is at http://www.snakegetters.com/demo/mamba/
 
Just stumbled upon this thread...

And made a small (but hopefully helpful) donation to the Mamba rescue fund.

In a just world, people who do things like that to snakes would be strapped into a dental chair and treated to dental surgery with a power drill and rusty pliers.
 
Very helpful, thank you. Vet bills on these guys generally exceed anything I could hope to sell them for when they're done.

*chuckles evilly* Now you find out about how the Adopt-A-Mamba program really works. Several homeless mambas will shortly be arriving on your doorstep. Okay, I'm kidding, it will just be some downloadable books and a CD. :lol01:
