    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....

Any members 65+ ?

Hi everyone,

I'm a Master's student (in my 40s!) from Ireland and I'm doing a study on how non-traditional animals can contribute to well-being for my final thesis. I am looking for people 65+ who own any type of pet other than a dog or a cat.

Almost all the research on how pets benefit our lives focus only the two most common pets (dogs and cats) and I wanted to look at how other creatures can also be great companions.

Most research also focuses on people in their 20s and that's why I wanted to speak with older people.

If you, or anyone you know qualifies and would be willing to have a chat with me (about 45 mins online) about your snakes, reptiles, tortoises or any other unusual pet please send me a message.

Thank you!

Cathy
