    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....

Overfeeding? >.>

Ullo'! ((first post here!))
Anyways, I have a young/baby garter snake I caught not to long ago. He's really healthy..but I was wondering "Am I overfeeding him?"
I mostly feed him Tadpoles...that consist of 3 or 4 a day, and they are way bigger than his head (but he shows he has no problems eating them on after another with ease) Plus I feed him EVERY DAY. Is this a problem?

It sounds like you're doing fine. Tadpoles don't have a whole lot of meat on them. When my T. sirtalis was young, I was feeding him around 6 guppies a day, which was probably close to what you're feeding. As long as your guy is growing and holding its weight, you're doing fine. Once mine were big enough, I switched them over to pinkies and gave them one a week upping the size of the mouse as they grew.
