    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....

Can someone point me to a place that sells sees or can someone in the sw possibly collect some and send them to me. I have a few desert iggys that would love a snack.

these guys are probably the best nursery in Phoenix. Currently they only have creosote bushes in 5 gallon pots. they'd have to be shipped with heat packs because the cold right now would kill them. However, if you call their glendale store, and ask for Heather from Brooklyn towards the end of February, they should have them in 1 gallon size, along with some other native desert type plants that your iggies would also like. they don't ship cross country, but maybe you could work something out.

From what I've read and heard from others, creostote bushes are pretty hard to keep alive outside of their native habitat. I've also heard from people, who grow them in outdoor pens with their lizards, that they are a food of last resort. They eat them in the desert because they don't have much of a choice. In captivity, they prefer their gourmet salads ;)
