    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....

Anyone here keep them? How about a thread for them?
If you have them post some pic's and some info on your DiamondBack such as,age sex, lenght,weight and whatever else you'd like to share.
As for me I've had cane break's before but never EDB's, I'm going to repticon in columbia,s.c on the 12th to pick up a male and female EDB that I've already paid for, just thought I'd save on shipping since I was going there anyway. The male is 3.5ft amd the female is 4ft, there around 2 to 3yrs old. They were caught in the wild as babies in south fla. there eating f/t rats with no problem. Once I pick them up I'll post some pic's of them.
 
The male is in the top pic and the female is in the last pic. The male is alittle under 4ft and the female is alittle over 4ft, their apprx 2 to 2/12yrs old.
 
Cool terrarium but are those pine needles as a substrate?
 
It's long leaf pine straw I picked up, I've been told it's o.k to use. One of their habitats is the long leaf pine forest. I want their enclosure to look fairly close to their natural habitat.
 
Switched out the substrate today because I was told with the straw there would be a better chance of bringing in mites or some other parasite.
I went with aspen.

 
Beautiful snakes and a nice set-up! Nothing beats a nice EDB.

The only thing I might add would be some type of hide that wouldn't detract from your naturalistic look...maybe a large cork bark tube or something like that.
 
Thank's, if you go back to the 1st page and look at the 6th pic you can see the hide behind the snake. It's just a wood hide I put together then through on some decorations but they really seem to like it.
