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.

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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....
Drymarchon melanurus unicolor + humidity

I suppose
Everyone is on Spring Break!
Anyhow, I keep the relative humidity for all of my Drymarchon, with teh exception of my D. m erebennus, at 70% - 80%, providing significant increases during to ecdysis and prior to mating attempts. Also, D. m melanurus and D. m unicolor, as most Drymarchon spp., tend to prefer cooler temperatures. I keep the ambient temperatures in the mid 70's, with a basking area between 80-85, all temperatures being in farenheit of course...
Best regards,

I concur with Jeffro. They seem to be more relaxed and comfortable in high humidity environment. Which makes sense, given their natural environment is also. I spray my cages, with all my drys, daily. And they dry out over a 24 hr period. Which is pretty much the same protocal used by Greg Maxwell with his GTPs. The humidity is good for them,..BUT,...you need to keep a close eye on the interior cage walls, and ceiling for mold. In particular, black mold. It also likes humidity, and I know it's bad for me. So it's probably not good for them either. A shot of my vinegar, and peroxide regimen to the affected ares takes care of it very quickly though. Also, watch your temperatures, as all drymarchon seem to prefer cool temps in the low to mid 70s. My unicolors especially seem to like it at about 73 most of the time. When you aproach 80 degrees, you'll have problems. But a warm spot for their occasional use is nessecary. Remember, it's all about choices. They must have choices.
