• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Machete whipsnake, flawless adult specimen, perfect in every way. Sold to me as a female. Treated (internally and externally) and established in captivity for almost 2 years on the dot. Needs a large enclosure as she is very active and would make a great display animal. Readily eats rodents but really will do best on a rodent-free diet. Currently eats tilapia, frog legs, and chicks. Experienced keepers only. $185; shipping to your zip code via SRY is additional.

Some of us who keep them know them as "eye-ball biters". They strike directly and repeatedly at your eyeballs. They are wonderfully aggressive and will actually move swiftly toward you as they strike. They are also lightening fast and basically impossible to hold. Their bites bleed profusely. Extremely intelligent and attentive snakes for folks who can deal with them. Very large enclosures are needed. One of my favorite species.

I'm curious as to how large she is currently and how often she is handled?

New imports, yes.
But most do calm over time to be more reasonable animals. They are smart and quickly learn their keeper is not an enemy.
If you could actually keep any alive more than a few months you’d know that.
