    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....

Greetings,
There's an effort underway at Thamnophis.com to determine the level of interest that garter snake keepers have in getting Europe's best garter snake book (Strumpfbandnattern) translated from German into English. If the interest level is great enough, it might tell the authors that it would be economically feasible reprint the book in English. New copies of Strumpfbandnattern (written in German) sell for the equivalent of $35 USD. In comparison, The Garter Snakes by Rossman et al. is widely considered to be the best book on garter snakes written in English. New copies sell for $64 USD.

The current version of Strumpfbandnattern, written in German, can be viewed at the following link:

and the poll to determine if it would be worthwhile to translate the book is located at the following link:

Thanks,
