    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....

Checkered garter only eats when my Tecas Patch Nosed snake is with her

I dont know if i should be worried or not. I know you arent supposed to house different species but she is very aggressive when she is alone. Ive tried changing enclosures even lowering temp from 85° to between 75°-80°, but she is only content when i put the patchnose in there. He has no problem with it. They eat fine. Share the same basking spot and hiding hole. I really noticed her aggressive behavior after i separated her from my great plains rat snake after the garter had her babies. Im assuming she just might be a social snake but ive never had a snake that behaved like this. They get along just fine. But since they are different species i worry a bit. But she was one of my first snakes so i try to keep her happy but i wanna keep her safe too.
