    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....

Please help. My big girl Cal king has been in shed for the past week. When my snakes are in shed I don't bother them except for looking in thecage to make sure their in it. Today I saw that she shed and I picked her up and saw her belly was all brown with tiny sores. Please tell me what I can do. Thanks in advance.
 
Please describe the enclosure your keeping the snake in such as humidity, temperature, substrate, Heat sources. Are you 100% your snake has scale rot, I seen a lot of people mistake burns for rot, please post photos. I would verify all the enclosure setting are correct, use paper towel as substrate, & try to keep the enclosure in the most sanitary condition possible. I've heard people soaking with a little Betadine & water as well as applying triple anti-biotic ointment (with no painkiller) but I personally would suggest seeing an exotic veterinarian soon as possible.
