    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 will ad a picture or two here. This was one of my best females. Bay county Florida locality. I used to have a very small area where they all looked like this. Now a sub division and nothing left. I wish I wouldn't have sold my Eastern collection.
 
Always get my Easterns to take rodents. Don't believe the hype that they are hard to switch over. The biggest trick is getting them free of parasites. They are polymorphic in my area so you never know how they are going to turn until they are about 18 months old. I have some eggs incubating now from my melanistic pair. I have seen the reddest babies turn black and some of the most bland babies turn into screamers. We used to have a large collection but sold them when we moved. Just getting back into them now.
 
I have to with some of the babies. About half will take pinks as their first meal. The wild caught ones from my area switch over pretty easy. I don't think I have ever had one that would not switch over. We will be in production in the next couple of years. We are building our collection up now.
 
Another herp myth down the drain lol. Looking forward to some baby pics:thumbsup:
 
Nice pics, thanks. Will those two most likely remain that color or could they change completely?
 
This baby turned a very nice red. This was one of my favorite adult males. Found him on my carport. As soon as my eggs hatch I will post some good pics of them too.
 
Here's a couple more.
