    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 have a Diamond Caiman. I have had him a little over a month now. He refuses to eat anything but live food. I was told initially to feed him crickets and some ground meat fortified with vitamins. I have fed him the ground meat since day one but he refused to eat them. I fed him feeder fish (that I raise) but have since then been informed that this is not a good practice and in fact should shy from all live food to reduce the hunting instinct. the problem I have is that he will not eat anything if it is not live. I have let him go five days. puting new food in every day (replacing it because it dries out) he will not eat it period. I tried letting him go three days with nothing in the tank at all and then feeding him cows heart. again he would not eat anything. now he is getting skinny and lethargic so last night I fed him some feeders (and not a lot in hopes he would try his other food) he immediately ate the fish and then refused to touch the other food. What am I to do?
