• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

That is quite an unusual looking animal.

I agree. It makes you wonder what else is out there that we just know about yet? We tend to fall into the trap of "we have seen it all already" OR "there are no places left to discover yet"... appears we can still be wrong sometimes;)
 
Came across a different picture of it which shows off "Silver" in it's name.

Came across this smaller boa, not long ago, on the Internet.
It appears that their numbers are limited.
It is a very cool boa!:thumbsup:
Wish we could have some, in the herp community, for captive breeding. Mostly to increase their numbers but it would, also, be great to keep.
