    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....

I got a little hoogie in Sept. She ate right out of the box when she was shipped to me. I was feeding her 2 inkies a week without issue. She was about 10 inches when I got her. Now at about 12 inches. she has not eaten in about 4 weeks. Is it normal for hoggies to go off feed withotu notice like my balls? Also where can I get amphibian scent to put on some food for her? Is it ok to use egg yolk? The egg yolk thing I heard somewhere about something but cannot remeber if it was about feeding hogs.

Thanks so much
 
Some things that are easie to obtain to scent with are tuna fish water, salmon water, and fish oil capsules are some of the things that have worked for me in the past. How do you have her set up? The colder weather might be making her want to shut down and winter.
 
Well the she is a ten gal right now. aspen with two hides. I got two lights on her, both for heat. a blue night light and a sun light. I turn the sunny one off avbout 8pm every night. she is about 80-85 at day and 75-73 at night.

thanks

mine went 4 months without eating. My proff. at school suggested putting him in a smaller container (coolwhip container with holes in lid) and then just leave the mouse and the snake in there. I checked on it 3 hours later, and both pinkies disappeared and he has been feeding fine ever since
