    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....

Another Hide-Box substrate question...

Hi,

Can someone tell me if its correct to use "Sphagnum moss" or "Sphagnum Peat moss" in the egg-laying hide, and what's the difference? I'm currently using wet Sphagum moss.

Thanks,

Matt
 
if you are going ot use moss, spagnum is the way to go.. peat is too much like dirt. I cant think of anyone that is using it. I use vermeculite in all of mine.
 
I use peat moss its works great! Hold moister extremely well, its a pain when its dry so fluffy and soft/ligth. I mist the nest boxes twice a week or so. Ron Trempor uses this stuff too.
