    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....

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new here so please let me know if this post is in the appropriate forum. :confused:

I just bought an updated field guide for Reptiles and Amphibians. In reading, I notice several species now endangered that were not years ago. Obviously a lot of this is the result of habitat destruction and other factors that are out of the hands of herp hobbyists.

But I'm wondering how the reptile community is helping the situation and better yet, what can I do? Dumeril's Boas seem fairly common in the pet trade but they are endangered in their natural habitats. I'm no biologist, but is there anyone out there who is participating in cooperative captive breeding for conservation of species? I don't know if this is a viable solution because I am sure it would be difficult to re-introduce captive species into the wild.

Thanks for any info. :)
