    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.

    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....

Porphapalooza...show off your Asian Rats

Yes it is... He should be ready for his GF this coming spring. :)
You knew what the first one is ?


Beautiful Asians Chris and Amanda !!
 
I can't quite tell what the first one is. The head shape is niggling me that I should know it but it's not coming to me.

They all look great though!

Thank you. I'll see if I got pics of the others to post

It's an albino beauty...I'm guessing Taiwan but maybe Moquard's.

Very good ! It is a male albino Moquard's Beauty Snake. This guy is stunning IMO and makes some beautiful babies. He actually getting nicer too LOL
 
Here's Sophia (Japanese Rat) in her nest. She has the best viv of all our snakes.

I like your climacophora nest. I'm going to be building some new arboreal cages here in the next couple weeks. I may steal your idea :)
The albino climacophora are pretty neat. There's actually a large wild albino population in Iwakuni that was designated as a National Monument by the Japanese Government almost a century ago.
 
She loves that nest. She sleeps in it at night. The plastic stump on the bottom of the cage she uses when she's in blue. She is so passive and inquisitive.
Oh, I recall reading about the Albino's in the wild years ago. Interesting stuff for sure! Thanks for reminding me.
Here's a pic of her custom built Viv...

Wow! Great looking set-up. That is a really unique cage design. My climacophora are so inquisitive. They always seem to be watching me while I'm in the room.

Thanks ! I designed and built it. Wanted something unique for the living room. The rest of the 30+ species are in a reptile room. Sophia gets preferential treatment. Our beauties are always keeping an eye on us for sure !
