    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 a quick hello from the hills and hollars of WV. New member here, but not to the hobby. I'm a 2nd generation snake guy, as I like to say. My parents used to run a pet shop and my dad apparently had quite the reptile room at home before I came along. He's been out of it for a couple decades, but I got into the herp keeping hobby as soon as I could (stepfather wouldn't allow me to have snakes when I lived there, so I had to wait until I got my own place). I've had at least one snake in my care at any given time over the last decade.

Thankfully, now that I'm married and have a kid, I've got a wife who enjoys them too. Hoping to get into breeding BRB's and BCI as time and $ permit. For now, I just enjoy our scaly pets.
