    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....

babies okay?

I have been interested in getting a King snake for a long time, been reading up on them and i think i want to get a grey banded. anyway, heres my problem: i have heard from alot fo friends that have snakes that babies are harder to take care of, esp. for a beginer like myself. But the majority of pet stores and breeders only have babies. Are they really that much harder to take care of? thanks alot
 
Kings.....

Natalie, they are not that much harder to take care of once they have been properly started. (Feeding regularly) I have heard that Gray Bands tend to be difficult to start and can be picky eaters. My first King was a California King and I never had a problem with him. I got him when he was about 16 inches. The king I have now, a Mexican Black King, has been nothing but pleasant. Eats fine and he is very docile. I also got him when he was about 16 inches. One thing you don't have to worry about with Kings that often is feeding. They are very good eaters and as long as you provide proper husbandry, they should be no problem to take care of.
