    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....

Just some quick questions. First I'll say long time herp keeper, but my wife isn't a snake fan. So with the marriage my 0.1 Boa Constrictor, 1.0 Cal King, and 0.1 BRB all had to go.:(

Now I have halfway talked her into a hoggie and acquired a 2014 0.1 anaconda.

Do to mixed advice I'm looking for critiques in husbandry for her. Here's the facts.

She is 13 inches long and 000000 grams.
Housing- 27 quart tub
Substrate- Aspen
Feeding- Pinkies twice weekly (with small amounts of calcium glubonate
injected) 0.05 ml
- Fed outside of viv with unscented
Temps- Directly on heat pad 93, top of substrate at heat pad 84, ambient 81, cold side substrate 69 (Partially due to humid hide)
-Left on 24 hours a day
Humidity- 25% with humid hide on cold side and water dish.
Lighting- None direct, but does receive full spectrum from surrounding vivs
but obviously uvb is filtered.


Thanks for any critiques guys.
