    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....

Reintroduction!

Hey everyone!

I've been on this site since 2014 (lurking for even longer) but I took a break since I had to sell my whole collection because of a deployment in 2016. I live in Gainesville, FL, and my "collection" at the moment is a wife, my 5 year old son, 1 year old daughter and a crazy 8 week old great dane puppy :) Trying to figure out if I'm staying in the US after the summer or moving to the UK before building my collection again. I love to chat so if anyone needs anything, hit me up!
 
Hey Matt,

My collection was mainly inverts but I had a few BPs, kingsnakes and leopard geckos. Mainly had scorpions and tarantulas though.

Ahh, most of those species give me the creeps. Yes, I am a typical American :face_palm_02:!

and leopard geckos.

Any specific color/coulor mutation? Or, any specific pure species?

Yep, all those species give me the creeps.

Also, I would like to thank you for protecting America. I hope you get everything you want, when you start your new collection.
 
Haha yeah its usually not as popular as other things to show off inverts.

With the BPs, i had just some of the more common morphs. Bumblebee, spider, and I acquired a gravid WC female so I ended up with a few normals.
I had a couple of L. getula brooksi. I love kingsnakes! Its crazy compared to BPs how active they are and their feeding response.

Thank you, Matt. It was honestly one of the best times of my life. We were in Iraq for a while and I loved the experience of meeting new people and learning about more cultures. Will be my only one though, I missed my daughters first 6 months and I don't want to miss any more of their lives :)
 
Welcome back and I hope you can start your collection over soon! I really love colubrids, they are a lot of fun and full of personality. I'd like a BP someday but I can't see myself with tons of morphs like some people, I'd rather have a bunch of king and corn snakes if I go that route.

Thanks, Toby! I have always loved any kingsnake I've kept. They were awesome eaters and I enjoyed being able to watch them move more than BPs lol
 
Could we please have a pic of the puppy?
Why not start out small and enjoy, if you go somewhere in the future you can still start yet another collection.
