    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....

What ever became of the Dwarf Tegu Callopistes maculatus?
I know they were around in the mid 80s but I have not heard anything about them in years. Does anyone know what happened that they are no longer available anywhere?

I happened across a few about 5 years back, but haven't seen any since. I've heard through the grapevine that they're nice and all, but hard to breed, thus hard to establish as a captive-breeding population.

It is like a bunch of different species. They are hard to breed in captivity, and they are no longer able to be exported. :(
