    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....

18 Foot Retic on Garage Roof in Detroit Draws Crowd

Hopefully it doesn't get pneumonia as it's been pretty cold in that part of country. Not good for herpers to have in the news.
 
Fortunately, it was in the 60s on Thursday.

Unfortunately, this is just another nail in the coffin of herp-keeping, at least for large constrictors. I'm sure PETA, the HSUS, and the Michigan Humane Society have already tried contacting the guy, to pressure him into giving up the snake.

The guy who owns it seems like a nice guy, and is reasonably well-spoken. However, he is young, and obviously didnt make sure the snake stays safe and contained at all times. It isn't the greatest area of the City, and now everyone knows what he has to steal.

People already think we reptile keepers are crazy. These stories only fuel the prohibition pushers.
