    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....

Road hunting ban in Texas

I have to admit that I wouldn't mind road cruising for graybanded kings sometime before I die. Hopefully Connie and I will be able to do some travelling this upcoming year, and Texas is definitely on my list to spend some time in.
 
That's encouraging news. One of the most exciting moments of my "herp life" was pulling my first alterna off a cut in Loma Alta.
 
just spent a summer in las cruces in 06 .. 35 minutes from el paso.. love to get out on the dirt roads till 1:00 in the morning.. and check out the desert especially after a rain and listen to the spade foots, watch the lightning , and enjoy the beauty of the desert at night . pullin on the side of a road cutting and checking out spiney swifts collecting a few legal specimans for reasearch and development for the scientific and herpitolocigal communities they should be more worried about the illigal border jumpers and drug smugglers and stop making excuses and scapegoats for what's really goin on..border patrol needs to step up.. the b.l.m. needs to step up not make stopping on the road illegal becausde it looks susspicious why any one wants to ugly it up with red tape... them people with there white collars and forked toungues they do nothing but abuse their authority and violate civil rights its all over ...unless we start to stand up for what we believe in if you believe in herpitology,herpitoculture , and the hystoric value of reptiles and amphibians that have been around here since the beginning of TIME ..
