    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....

I purchased this gorgeous pair in January, they were sold to me as Abronia taeniata. The thing is, I haven't found any taeniata that look like this! I've searched everywhere to try and find out what they are. :shrug01:

Pardon the photos, I had brought them to repticon to see if anyone could ID them, nobody could 🙁

Anyhow, they have been scarfing down a mixture of crickets, superworms, and small dubia. I'm not really wanting to part with them but I already have a nice group of graminea that I'm working with and need to make space for my gravid females. I'd prefer them to go with someone who has experience.

$800 plus shipping.

The one on the right is definitely a Taeniata. The male on the left looks like a Taeniata/ Graminea hybrid. I've seen them before. It is a naturally occurring hybrid where the two species ranges overlap.
 
I'd consider if someone has a group of 2.1 graminea to combine with the graminea I have now. Otherwise I think I am going to keep her, and try to find a similar colored male. The female is just over 2 according to the vendor who sold it to me, I don't know her actual age, but she is very strong and alert compared to my yearling graminea and gravid female.
