    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 Blue tongued skink is, like most, a complete doll when being handled outside her cage, but when i try to get her out of the tank, she gets really aggressive, hissing, lunging, puffing herself up, and today she even tried to bite me. I used to keep her on paper towel with a hide made out of a cardboard box and I never had this problem, but she is now out of quarentine and i gave her a bark-bend hide and aspen chip substrate. It seems like she really likes the new setup, but since she's been in it, she's gotten more and more aggressive when i take her out. It worries me a little, but it doesnt bother me unduly because she is completely fine once I've picked her up and taken her out of the cage.

Any opinions on what is causing this and how i can fix it? Thanks!
 
That is a fairly common behavior with these guys. She is being a little territorial, and would rather be left alone. That is just her way of letting you know.
