• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Please help!

I want to get a western hog nose snake as my first snake, my dad is iffy on the snake. I have laid out reasons why snakes are good, is there any other ways to convince him? Thank you in advance!
 
Find out first why your dad is "iffy" about it so you know what issues you need to address. If you don't address those specific issues, you will be wasting your time with your defense.

Thank you, he is iffy because he just isn’t a reptile person. Is there any general educational reasons please?
 
Sometimes the most truthful and down to earth response can be the best reason. And that probably is that you really want one and it would really make you happy to have it. :)

Truth be known, there is not any solid winning argument, other than just plain old simple companionship, for anyone to have any sort of pet.

Obviously you are on the young side, so you just need to be certain that you have enough responsibility to FULLY care for your new pet. That might really be your dad's main concern.
