• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Finally stopped lurking, and made an account. :)

I've spent a lot of time reading and observing threads on the BOI, and I figured I should just go and make myself an account here. So hello, everyone!

I'm a proud owner of a sweet, healthy Western Hognose, and I'm super excited to welcome a Dumeril's Boa to my animal family next week!

Looking forward to interacting with everyone on here! :D

Thank you, Helen! I've been lurking around for quite a while now, and the BOI has provided me with so much information that I was happy to contribute as soon as I made an account. This place is such a good resource!
 
good move to sign up, it's a fun place to be. My very first boa ever was a Dumeril's boa. Love that Egyptian looking head marking.
