    **************************************************
    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....

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

Found this little guy laying in the path between the carport and the house this evening. He is only about 13 to 15 inches long. Probably sleeping because he didn't budge as I walked around him to go into the house and get my camera. But he certainly snapped awake when the flash went off! Looks a little but irritated by my presence, I think....

Awesome Rich!! I too had one here, had a call to come get one out of a yard. It is now several miles from the closest house. It was a good bit bigger than that one. I think these are one of the most awesome reptiles we have in our state, provided they are left in the wild. There are not to many of them around anymore. I brought it in long enough to get these pics.
 
*is now trying to imagine what significant other would say if I brought a rattlesnake into the kitchen for a photo shoot* :rofl:

Great pics Bobby.

Actually, I would have to say that EDBs are second only to the black racer as to the most frequent snakes we see wandering through our property here in north Florida.
 
Thanks guys!!

And to tell you the truth, thats my porch/Reptile room. Little moma would not let me bring it inside. :) The kitchen would be grounds for divorce, :yesnod: lol. No hots in the house!! :eek:
