    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....

Just got a pair of these today. African Green Snakes is what they were sold as, I can't figure out what the exact scientific name is for them and all my searches have come up empty for info, closest I have come is they are Philothamnus. I am leaning more towards P. semivariegatus, they are the most common and have the largest range. P. punctatus has a bit less color than what mine do and P. natalensis usually has no color. These have a lot of blue and white but the pics don't show it. They are neat little snakes though.

3 more shots. An interesting note on these guys; They seem to change color as the constrict their scales, they can be 2/3rd's speckled with white and blue. Then they can some how constrict them or do something where they are almost solid green colored, an awazing show to watch!

David, we just picked up a very young pair of these recently, also semivariegatus. Have you gotten yours to eat and what are they eating if you have?
