• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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 have a thayeri/Ruthveni kingsnake that is in the blue eyed phase of shedding. When I checked on her yesterday there were blood smears on the paper pretty much all over her cage. I looked her over couldn't find where it came from. She ate last about 8 days ago and had 2 small mice then. She doesn't seem injured but I'm a little worried about her.
 
If there's unexplained blood in the cage I'd get her to a vet asap. If you don't have a qualified herp vet that you can take her to, then I would change her substrate and keep a strong eye on her, see if there is anything that changes. Good luck with her!
