    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....

Help! My baby snapping turtle's shell is.......flaking off. He looks puffy like he's fat and his color is a bit.....off. His shell is kinda peeling like skin. Does anyone know what this is or what I can do to save/help him? The only thing that has changed is that he has been in a container with stagnant water for maybe a week now (i'm borrowing his 10 gal and using it as a hospital tank for some of my angelfish). He's eating alright, he's responsive, and besides the shell and the puffyness he's fine. Any help would be greatly appricated. Thanks!
