    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....

HerpFamily.com is now up and running!

Just wanted to post a quick message about HerpFamily.com, a new herp-related site I run.

Not gonna post a stupid banner and that's it... would rather just give you the details and if you're interested, check it out. If not, it's cool too.

Actually, I'm gonna make it even easier than that...mainly for me, lol. I'm just gonna post the content of the 'About Us' page since it gives you the basic rundown on what you'll find at HerpFamily.com.

Welcome to HerpFamily.com!

We originally began as a simple set of forums to break free from the forums we were all being banned from for some of the most bogus reasons. It was never expected to become as popular as it has. We honestly thought given a week, our new forums would have failed just as so many have in the past. Fortunately, we were very wrong and our forums are STILL growing strong. We've also decided that forums aren't enough and we're going to turn this into a full-blown website.

Our goal here at HerpFamily.com is to provide information on the proper care of many different species of herps (and also invertebrates) based on many of our members personal experiences. We also aim to provide how-to's as far as cage building and setups go. Much of the information you'll find here can usually be found on other forums and websites. We're just trying to compile it all into one place to make it easier for you to find.

Our forums are by far the most popular section of our site. Our members range from young to old and have many different hobbies and collections, but we all share a common bond--our love for our herps. Our forums are intended to be informative, yet not so serious that the members are prevented from having any fun. By keeping our forums more laid back and informal our members have developed some bonds that you would rarely find on any other forums, yet at the same time, if you need some serious help they're always there to help you out.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and choose to make HerpFamily.com your new home. You won't regret it!

If HerpFamily.com sounds like your kind of place and you're looking for a new forum to call "home," feel free to become a part of our growing family. I will also have advertising space available at affordable rates (especially at first while I'm still gaining traffic)...plus I offer free classifieds on the forums for my members. Usually the animals being sold on there are being offered at cheaper prices than what the breeder usually sells them at.
