• 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....

I found this girl on Craigslist about 6 months ago while looking for something else. I would never think to look for animals on Craigslist and was kind of surprised to see a climacophora because usually it's all ball pythons. When I went to go see her the owner told me that they were selling her cheap because she was so aggressive they were afraid to take her out of the cage. Six months later, this snake has never tried to bite and is one of the most docile snakes I own. She has an EXTREMELY strong feeding response so maybe that's what freaked the previous owner out. She continues to get prettier with each shed.

Gorgeous!
I also normally avoid CL but every once in a while there's a gem on there. Great find!
 
Thanks! Japanese ratsnakes make great semi-arboreal display snakes. The Kunasir Island specimens can be unreal looking and the albino population from Iwakuni, Japan are actually considered a natural monument by the Japanese government.

This photo of one of my juveniles shows what they look like before their color change.
