    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.

    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.

    Drastic post-shed color change

    My young adult eastern male was always an unusual color but since his last shed his color changed drastically. He was a medium reddish brown with high yellow sides, now where he was yellow he is a pinkish caramel color. Is it common for them to change colors after they are already grown?
