    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....

Hauschild and Gassner in Corucia zebrata - Der wickleschwanzskink 8.4 -Partner choice classically - the manner recruit pp 61-62, mention:


"The females do not show special behaviors, in order to signal to a Male -mating readiness. "

This not always so. I have seen females take the initiative, sexually .

In one case, The SFCRC had a female skink named Opacus that lost her mate and was alone for awhile. When a male was introduced, she took the initiative immediately and pursued the male who was not interested at first. She kept snuggling along side the male. Within 30 minutes, he became receptive and mating occurred. The male used his left hemipene in the mating process.
