    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....

I have given hundreds of hundreds of injections. SQ, IM, IV, IP, intradermal!
And I have bested many a fractious cat--five weapons plus they can move around inside their skin.
Over come many a skin sensitive pig.

But, I have a little blood python, 2 years old, that puts them all to shame. He is normally an easy going fellow. He'll hiss at me, especially lately; but that's the extent of his editorialising.

We are in day five of an antibiotic regimen and I must say, I am only just getting the technique down.
He's got talent alright. Hoo boy, snake rodeo at my house every night! If I could splice some of his genes into those of a bucking horse, I'd have a rodeo star! Not only can he buck, he jerks, he squirms, he twists, he escapes the towel with alacrity.

If he'd just let me get the job done, I wouldn't have to get in so many "stab" practices every med time. Cryminy!
 
I've had the pleasure of that ride, lol. None of this little poke stuff for bloods...the needle is gone before you can get the med in. I'm sure it is easy enough with the little guys, but I was trying on one that was over 4ft. I never had that hard a time giving adult puff adders injections.
