    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....

Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any Indigo owners out there, that currently or in the past have raised their snakes outdoors? I know that this does present problems as far as the snake escaping or some a--hole jumping your fence and stealing a snake, but the outdoor environment would seem to be conducive to a happy, healthy snake, even in the northeast states there is probably a three or four month window that would have the proper temps to be healthy for easterns since they can stand cool temps. You can always give them a heated hide box incase it gets cool and a buried box with a tunnel ( sorta like a gopher tortise burrow ) incase it gets hot. Just a thought.

Yep, but no longer!

Once upon a time I did, though not in recent years. While I do give all of my Drymarchon regular access to the outdoors, I no longer maintain outdoor enclosures, as such tend to attract insect pests, predators and thieves.
Also, I have not noticed any difference regarding activity levels or reproduction when comparing those I maintained outdoors exclusively and those I keep indoors, but allow regular access to the outdoors...

Best regards,

Jeff Snodgres
