    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....

I wish I could choose two options

Ive been bitten by hundreds and hundreds of snakes.. most of the common ones in the pet trade have gotten me at least a few times

I've also been bitten by some large constrictors... that hurt!

But not as much as my heteroscodra maculata bite or my scolopendra subspinipes bites. THose tickled a little bit!
 
I've been bit by tons of snakes. Some of them pretty big. The worst 2 bites I ever received though were from a brown recluse on my calf. It took almost 18 months to heal. The worst bite was from a cat though. My god I pooped and urinated on that one! The pain is different from a dog bite.
