• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

My BP doesn't seem to like being handled. He's not aggressive, but he seems very skittish and just wants to hide when I try to handle him. I don't necessarily feel the need to handle my pets, and I was wondering if I should just leave him alone, or keep at it in hopes that he'll get more used to it?
 
Keep at it, he will get used to being handled. They dont get used to quick movements tho so watch out for that. Good luck.

If he's young then being skittish or even nippy is perfectly normal. To him you're a Godzilla-sized predator. If you're careful and patient when handling him, eventually he'll figure out that you're just a warm mobile tree.
