    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Help! Possible sick snake!

My normal girl, Rose, just woke me up at 5am out of a dead sleep because she was....coughing? gagging? It sounded like she was about to throw up. I thought she was dying. She had just pooped but it wasnt nearly as much as usual. Her last meal was on Monday. I opened up her mouth and it looks normal. Can someone please tell me what the heck just happened?!? Should I take her to a vet?
 
Heehee. Yep, sounds like snake farts. First time I ever heard it, I was cleaning rat tanks and listening to a podcast with headphones on. I heard the noise over that, and thought someone was strangling a grizzly bear outside the window. :rofl:

:rofl::rofl::rofl: nice!

I was sleeping the first time I heard it and it managed to wake me up, I thought it was my roommate at the time, until I turned on the lights. I saw one of my little babies just squeezing out and blowing some steam lol.

But it sounds like your snake is ok, just a bit gassy :thumbsup:
 
I dont think it was gas. She had her mouth open as she was 'coughing' and opened and closed her mouth several times after the noises stopped. Her poo was goopier than usual.

You're describing what they do when they have gas, they honk and blow it out their rear end too, it's kind of scary to watch :eek:
 
Snakes don't cough. Jerry is correct. I've only seen it once, and will happily live out the rest of my life if I never witness it again. It's hard to believe those sorts of sounds can be produced without Steven Spielberg at the helm.
