    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....

2 years to get them......

But worth the wait. My good buddy Gib heard I loved the Western Hognoses and his buddy at a local shop just got in a clutch from a local breeder so guess what I got? A pair of genetic Yellow Phase Westerns , WOOHOO. Both have already eaten a small ASF fuzzy for me.

I've found a couple care sheets but not everything I want to know is in any of them. I need to know ...

1) Minimum age for breeding.
2) Feeding frequency for babies.
3) Maximum temps on the hot spot.
4) Maximum cage size for adults.

Oh yeah ,

Back heat or belly heat? I currently have them in 6 qt tubs with about an inch on 3" heat tape with holes drilled in the lid and front of the tub to cut down on the heat buildup.
 
Thanks Ron. I found a much better care sheet than I had before and the plans for a backheated 6qt BP rack will have 2 extra slots for those guys.
