    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....

Yep, He's cool! It's just so hard to see anything there with the glare from Gary O's head! LOL Gary ( I'll be there soon as well).
 
I haven't had a great deal of snakes, i've been bitten by some corns in the past, but nothing that even left a mark.

My most recent bite was the other day, I went in to grab my young Dumerils Boe, and I just felt a quick sting, I didn't even know I got bit, I guess she left me go with just a warning.
She never tried biting me before, but for whatever reason she did that day.

I saw this video a little while back from Jackass, with Johnny Knoxville. He's completely insane, but I figured I would share this, its pretty hilarious, and extremely stupid.

I don't really fit in any of the categories. :confused: I keep more aggressive species, and I fully expect to get my fair share of tags; I've just been really lucky. Pure luck. And I handle everyone daily, so nobody's too aggressive. But, like I said, I will get tagged one day or another.
 
Darwin never said the smartest or strongest would survive, he said that the best adapted to the environment would survive. This is America land of lawsuits & welfare, think about what actually gets rewarded.
Screw culling snakes, we should cull humans then worry about other species.
 
Today I was nailed by my roommates beauty. It seems every time I feed them one or the other nails me. Shoot I have almost come to expect it of them. They enjoyed their meal. This bite tore me up more than usual, she was bound and determined to eat my hand. Silly snake. I counted myself lucky because I didn't get bitten once by a mouse! I HATE mouse/rat bites, now those guys can HURT!
 
Gerbils hurt worse, got to break up a fight my daughter's were having.Then I had to apologize for threatening to feed them to somebody when I got nailed.
Evil stinky creatures.
 
Lol when I was a kid I decided to take my hamster to Sunday school. We were about to get out of the car, and I looked in the bag to see that my hamster had chewed through the cardboard box. I grabbed her, she bit my finger really hard, so I put her in my other hand and she bit that finger harder. :rofl: I still have scars on my fingers.

Moral of the story: don't take your hamster to Sunday school!
 
LOL. My fiance's hamster would bite us every time we'd try to take it out of the cage. Once it was out, it was fine, but getting it out was a chore. He kept threatening to feed it to one of the snakes. Well, my baby BRB got out one day, and that was the end of the hamster.
 
Now here is a good bite: graphic bloody

Ok today I had to clean out Fang's cage (my lovable Tokay) So I reach in to grab him and WHAM he bites my hand. Not a big deal until I see he has gotten the fold of skin on my knuckle. Now he had about 1/4 inch IN his mouth and was grinding every time I moved. SO I had to have my roommate grab the camera so I could become a "real" :D member of the bloody hand. :rofl:

Hello All! This is my pathetic attempt to get in!

Wayne%27s%20mistake.jpg


His is a juvenile MBK and his name is Demon . He does this every time I take him out. He isn't aggressive, just a hungry little bugger! I have been tagged a bunch a times by the Corns, but nothing like this guy!
