    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....

    Venomous Snakes Found in Florida Storage Unit

    A storage unit was emptied out Wednesday in Tallahassee, but no one could have expected what they would find inside -- four extremely venomous and hungry snakes. The person who rented the unit hadn't paid for it in three months, so his stuff was slated to be cleared out. Animal control...

    Males too big to breed?

    I was having a conversation with a snake breeder that I believe has a lot of knowledge and experience, and the conversation turned to size of males. He doesn't feed his males as much as he does his females (we're talking about burmese here) because he said in his experience if males get too...

    Ah, poop :(

    My daughter miscarried her little boy that was due in July :( The docs say his heart didn't develop fast enough to keep up. I just hurt for her and my son-in-law, and wish there was a way to make it easier. :bawling:

    Home buyer's remorse....does everyone get it?

    So the contract we put on a new house just got accepted. We're thrilled! We're excited! We love this house! We're on the verge of vomiting every minute! Does everyone panic when they realize that they just took on another huge responsibility? Is this common, or just an omen?

    Do snakes eat recipes?

    I went to pull out my one-and-only chocolate cream pie recipe tonight and it's GONE! I make the same pie for Christmas (and ONLY on Christmas) every year, and I'm without a recipe. I've looked through every other cookbook on the shelf, thinking I might have stuck it in the wrong one last year...

    Rant about Smoking

    I have to get this off my chest, as it's been festering for nearly a week now... Last week, a lovely woman that has worked with my company for over 20 years came to clean out her desk and say goodbye to her many friends and co-workers. She isn't retiring. She's dying. She weighs less than 80...

    Have you seen the TV commercial for Shell Oil with the pole vaulter in it? Do you recognize that pole vaulter? It's Jeff Hartwig, a really first class herper here in the midwest. My husband saw that commercial and said, "Hey, that guy looks familiar..." and sure enough, it's Jeff. (If you...
