    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....

hoping to save a couple lives

tonight i was up at the petshop to pick up a couple feeders and my boss asked me if i wanted to take home a couple kenyen sand boas that no one could get to eat . these guys have been in our quarentine room for several months now and they just refuse to take anything offered to them . one of them i dont hold much hope for as he is very thin and dehydrated . the second one is not in to bad shape . these are both neonates who's siblings are all 3 or 4 times their size .

i'm gonna try and make an apointment at the vets for them this thursday and see if he can suggest anything or possibly do something for them .

the smaller of the 2 i'm pretty sure i'm going to have to force feed as he just doesnt look to have the strength to even eat . i'm just hoping he has enough strength to digest a small meal . i guess i'll find out here shortly . the other one i think has a real chance to make it with some tlc . i'm going to try some gecko tails on both of them initailly and see how that goes . yall wish me luck with these little guys .
 
Mark, try giving these guys a hot spot that's 100-105 F. I breed them and occasionally have a stubborn starter and many times have had success by offering them a really hot spot to bask in. Make sure they can get to a cool spot too, but try the extra heat.

Hmmmm, come to think on it, in the last two years I've only had a couple of strugglers out of about 100 neonates and both of them fired right up when offered extra heat. I also have soaked them in very shallow water for short periods of time to be sure they were hydrated.

If worse comes to worse, pinky pump the little buggers a few times.

Good luck.
 
thanks wes . i'll definately try that . right now thier hot spot is right at 98 . i'll bump it up a few degrees .
