    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....

As it says my gargs have fought once again and I thought I had all the larva out but I see one or 2have tiny ones in there I've been adding neosporin every other day what else can I do
 
No, it will really hurt your animal. You should really take your animals to a vet if they are getting wounds that maggots infest. They can give you the proper cream medication to apply to the wound, which will likely keep the larvae out of the wounds.
 
Just so everyone knows, *most* fly larvae only eat dead tissue, so the presence of maggots will not hurt your animal, it's just a sign of poor wound care by the keeper. In fact, sterile maggots are frequently used in hospitals to treat burn victims, or any injury that could cause an abundance of dead tissue that could interfere with healing (like a spider or snake bite).
