• 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 vet gave me shots to give to my BP. The vet said to give the shots in the widest part of the snake, which is in the lower third of her body. However, people are saying to do it in the upper third? What do I do? I've been giving her shots in the lower third so far.
 
The shots need to go into the anterior third of the snake. If the injection site is too close to the kidneys, the medication will be filtered out without helping the snake.
 
Upper third was certainly what I was advised. Another piece of helpful information that was given to me when I had to do this recently was to alternate the sides of the body so that you are not injecting the same spot every time.
