    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.....

    =====================


    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....

hi i have abt a 3 and a half foot nile monitor and he is shedding ive noticed he has bubbles on his skin and they seem to be filled with puss i soak him everyday for atleast an hour everyday and today a few popped and the skin is like white underneth ive looked alot abt this and i cant find anything on it soo if anyone can provide some insight that would be great thanks and hope to hear soon.
 
What are his basking temps? How about a picture of his setup?

Sounds like he's getting burned by his lights.

BTW, DO NOT pop the blisters. You probbaly want to take a 10% hydrogen peroxide solution and dab it on his back, make sure you get the places where the skin that will soon become infected is.
 
well hes kept under a reptiglo 5.0 and 100watt heat lamp and i did have a 150wat infared on him too but i turned that off. i know his setup right now isnt righht it wont be lik that for long this weekend i am building him a long one insted of a high one it prolly will be 6ft long 3ft high and 3ft wide

it sounds to me that he is too close to his uvb light and neosporin would probably be better to use
