    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....

Nile monitors running loose in florida....wow! Well, since I already own a nile i'll have to gracefully say no. Thanks though. By the way, how big is she? My girl is just over 4 feet. I'll have had for four years this august.

Ahhh.....the tameness and disposition of my nile(or any nile).....this is tricky topic.
:bolt01:
I think it's just terrible that hundreds, maybe even thousands of baby niles are sold every year to people who think they are going to wind up with a wounderfull pet that will "chill on your lap while you watch tv". When they find out that they would rather just eat you instead, they get dumped......probubly why they are running lose in florida everywere.

With that said (sorry for the soupbox), I guess i can say with a clear concience that I have fantastic nile. Her name is Kelly. She allows me to take her out of her enclosure on the weekends. I take her into the back yard and let her walk around. The only way I was able to get on her "do not eat list" was patience, forgiveness, and understanding to a degree that most would find just plain disfunctional. :eatpointe

All boiled down: tons of food, tons of space, tons of understanding. If you would like I can share details in the monitor forum.
