    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....

Just curious....what do people here suggest as far as frequency of feedings? Just got a baby and I read in a couple places that these guys aren't fast growers. I was planning on feeding him a couple hoppers every 2 weeks. This too little? Should I be feeding him more? I don't want to powerfeed him or anything, as I'm not planning on breeding him, at least not in the next few years.
 
The general rule is to offer 1 appropriate sized mouse/rat a week for the first year and a half to 2 years, and when the animal reaches 3' you can feed on a per defecation schedule due to the slower metabolism you mentioned.
