    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....

These guys have been together several times, finally managed to actually get a decent shot.

Nice pair! I hope mine look that good as adults. Nearly no pattern on either of them.

Do you mind me asking where they came from?
 
These Eggs are HUGE ! ! !

My Black Pine laid her eggs today, these are by far the LARGEST (pituophis) eggs I have ever seen. every year I am amazed at the size of my Blk Pine eggs.
She usually lays about 5-6 eggs, this season only 4. But they are bigger than they were last year ! :thumbsup:

More Blk Pine Eggs !

My second female laid a few eggs today, I didn't put her w/ a male this season as I planned to retire her. Well she tried to tell me she wasn't ready for retirement because she laid 6 good (huge) eggs. But I still plan to retire her.

Yeah, it took allot out of her. She looks good in the pic - but definitely worse in person.
A few days rest and some meaty rats and she'll be as good as new ! :thumbsup:
