    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....

Well, after a year of paperwork and bureaucracy. And many more months of permits and arrangements. I finally have an Eastern Indigo Snake Drymarchon couperi) here in Georgia. Tony Carlisle hatched and donated this yearling girl for the first captive breeding program of Eastern Indigos in the state. I can't thank Tony enough for donating this girl.

This makes me one of only 2 or 3 private individuals in the state with permits to keep a couperi and the only one outside of Zoo Atlanta that can breed them. Of course 100% of any future offspring I produce will be donated to other educators and institutions in the state. It is time to start getting more people permits for these amazing animals.

Anyway, I have not had time to get good shots of her yet. So here are a few quick ones I took while waiting for the bug eaters to finish dinner. She is about 40" long and was born in August 2006.
