    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....

So I built a snake rack about a month back and finally housed my snakes in them. I fed them in the snake rack. I used to feed them in cardboard boxes.. but since I feed them in the rack they're always in S positioning when I'm about to pull the tub out. what should do I do? :shrug01:
 
Use an empty paper towel tube to boop snoots before putting your hand near them.
 
Melinda is right on. Gently touching the end of their nose with the paper towel tube let's them know it's not feeding time. Most snakes will snap out of it when you do that. Some use a snake hook, but I prefer to use something made of a softer material, like cardboard, because the snake is less likely to injure itself by striking at it. Paper towel tube is perfect.
