    **************************************************
    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.....

    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....

An unusual find today in PA

All I've been able to find so far this year is salamanders. Today, I found this erythristic redback under the first log that I flipped. According to Dr. Art Hulse's book "Amphibians and Reptiles of Pennsylvania and the Northeast", there were only a handful of reports of erythristics during the several year long survey of PA herps....and they were from the whole way across the state from where I'm at.

Thats awesome!!! Where did you happen to come across it?
 
In the woods somewhere southeast of Erie... I'm not trying to be secretive about the specific location, I just don't know any more specifics than that...lol. Today was my only day off for 12 weeks so I decided to make the most of it and herp as much as possible just by driving on back roads outside of the city.
 
congrats on the find . i'm hoping to get out this week sometime and do a little looking around .
