    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....

My axolotl is now a candidate for an alien life form and I have the blurry photo to prove it!

She has the GFP (glow gene) but does not like to hold still under a black light for photos. My new theory is that the black light causes her retina to glow and that's got to freak her out.

Here are some shots in normal light, the glow gene is green in normal light and you can see the green through her pupils.

I keep her in a wine cooler because they like their temp in the 50 degree range.

That was my idea. I was making an incubator out of one for ball python eggs and thought to myself..."Hey! I could have an axolotl if I put a tank in one of these things!". I always wanted an axolotl but the only place for it would be in reptile room which of course is on the warm side.
