    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....

    Inquiry inquiry-Beeger Boxes

    Hi all, Long time since I've been here. Inquiring about beeger boxes. Tried to order a rack and the computer wasn't taking it due to an error. So we called them and they were going to submit the charge on the system they use for shows, and send a receipt. Few days passed, didn't hear...

    stupid f&^%$%#$# printers

    My third printer has now crapped out on me. They all fail the same way. The roller feeder starts malfunctioning so the paper feeds crooked. Why can't they manufacture them either, so the single roller is right in the middle instead of the side so it's more likely to feed straight in, or make...

    Locked thread on BOI-re;timothy gomez

    Anybody know why the "Warning druzezza24, Timothy Gomez, [email protected]" thread got locked? It has the pertinent info in the header, and seems like a good post. Usually when they are locked a mod states the reason, IE duplicate post, need your real name, etc., but this one was locked...

    page(s) with new posts, keeps dissapearing

    As most everybody, when I visit I hit the "new posts" button. There is usually several pages, so I start on page one, read whatever threads I'm interested in, back click out of the individual threads, and it returns back to page 1 (of say 7) then after all are read I go to page 2, do the same...

    Who's out in the field?

    Seems we've had some great weather, just about everywhere for some time. Where is everybody? where's the reports? Usually I take two "major" field trips a year, and then many day and overnighters. My first major one is coming up, going to hit Arizona. We are hitting a spot where I hope to get...

    porcupine puffer

    Picture of my little guy. New so he's still in the quarantine tank. I love these guys, they usually have a very friendly "pet" like personality. Follow you around, eat from your hands, and let you "pet" them.

    Shipping included in price

    What do you folks do when a snake is quoted with the price of shipping included? Say an ad is "Colubrid snake $150 each, shipping included". That's great if you just want one snake, but what if you want several. Do they charge that same price for all? Say I want a trio would it be $450...

    For the west coasters-Desert Tortoise

    after the Red Eft photo for the eastern herpers, figured I should represent us westerners. There is a spot in the Mojave area where I camp at least once a year. I have found at least one Desert tortoise (from a little bigger than a quarter to full grown) every year for over 15 years, except for...

    red spotted newt

    Well, it's a little slow right now for us field herpers, so I thought I would post a photo here and there to get us warmed up. Here's a Red Eft (the land phase of the red newt) found it while I was visiting my Dad last year in West Virginia. Didn't find any snakes just Newts and Toads. It was...

    Different ways to post photos?

    I've noticed that posts with pictures can look different. One way is the picture is in a box that says "attachment" or "attached file" (crap I already forgot what it says, and I was just looking at one-LOL) in the second type of post, the picture doesn't have the box or the "attached file" more...

    sale/trade different price

    Why advertise- "for sale $1000, or trade value of $1200", for example. The person going into the trade is going to do the same valuation difference, on their end, when they offer a trade. I just don't understand the reason or logic for this practice. Just pondering.

    acceptable business "special"?, unethical?, or semantics aside still illegal? I saw something in an ad that rubbed me the wrong way. I thought I would place it here, to get some opinions. Sometimes I think maybe my standards are to high, or maybe my ethics alarm is hard wired to high, and this...

    go to first new post....IDIOT!

    Kingsnake vs Corn, Rat & Milk snake

    Kingsnake, vs Corn Snake, Rat Snake, Milk Snake? It seems like kingsnake is always one word, and the rest are a lot of times two words. I've seen the latter listed before as one word, but you never see King Snake as two words. Anybody know why that is?
