• 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....

FIRST PEEK!!!

There was a surprise in this clutch....
the 4th pip had a funny looking nose - the colors were a bit off.
I waited a bit, and as it ventured out a little further, I saw it....pink eyes!
 
Here ya go, Nick

just for you

While it was a fun surprise (and good for future reference), I really hope that is the only snow in the bunch. Only 6 of the initial 11 eggs were good, and I don't want to blow the odds of getting what I want by lowering my numbers (every snow I pull out, drops my selection of whiteside het albinos).
The snow and two whitesides are out; and another overnight pip leaves me with two more blackeyed babies...and one unslit egg.
 
It was nice enough this morning to take the tub outside for a few pics

Now that's the bullsnake attitude :D (I couldn't catch him with his mouth open, but he was playing the display game...and yes, that piece of substrate is out of his mouth now)
