    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....

FUN ideas and fundraisers for Fauna!

We need to get Dr. Owens to at the very LEAST smile occasionally, as it is good therapy in troubled times so....
Dr. Owens, inquiring minds want a pic, as far as size, use a toilet paper roll and go from there, oh let us know the results ;)
Age and things you are interested in are also helpful:D

Toilet paper rolls are pretty small...

I always assume that people know more about me than they do because of a lot of the info that has been posted about me on the BCF. I'll make a deal with you...I'll email a pic to anyone who sends me one of themselves. ;)

I'm 33 yo, and obviously I'm really into snakes (and other herps). Of course, I pretty much love all animals. I'll just leave it at that for right now...before this ends up sounding like a personal ad. ;)

btw...where is all of the info posted about everyone else on here? ;)

Of course, it could also be that I'm an irritable a-hole lately because I'm stressed out about a thousand different things right now. Anyone who has read the thread about me on this site knows that my father is dying of cancer right now...and that situation has been the biggest of my stressors recently.

I'm sorry, Jay. :(

Where do you keep 3-4 hundred snakes in a house? Mine are all over the place, snakes in every room and I've only got about 35 right now. I just acquired another, a kingsnake that a neighbor brought over to me, and that one is in a 10 gallon on my coffee table! I don't know where I'm going to put the boy yet! LOL!!

I keep almost all of them in my basement and garage. However, I also have a seperate, locked hot room. My basement and garage are pretty much solid cages from the floor to the ceiling...all Neodesha and AP cages and racks.

I don't keep anything in the main living part of the house. Mainly because it's bad enough when women find out how many snakes I have...I at least try to keep them out of sight. ;)
 
Dr Owens said:
Yeah...that likes snakes. ;)

At least around here the women like them also! Anytime I'm out with my friends and one of them wants to cock-block me all he has to do is look at me and ask, "Jay, how many snakes do you have in your house?" When I answer, "Somewhere between 3 and 4 hundred." It pretty much puts the nail in the coffin of that conversation. :crap: ;)

I would seriously consider not ever answering that question posed by your friends in an attempt to pull the old "cock-block". But you sure can't hide the fact you own snakes if you get the woman in question back to your house. But then again when she passes out from shock you do have a good reason to preform life saving mouth to mouth. ;)

And Jay I am really sorry to hear about your father. I wouldn't know what to do if it was my father going through that.
 
((((Jay))))) I am so sorry about your Dad, I had no idea.
I am a nurse, my parents both physicians, both spent their lives doing cancer research. Cancer is a heartbreaking way to die.
I wish you strength, and I pray for you, and your family.
I would invite you to spend more time on this forum; many have difficulties in their lives but this is a place you can be yourself and be among friends. I certainly hope that after getting to know us, you count us each here as a friend.

You're exactly right. ;)

btw...I really appreciate all of the kind words. I don't take them lightly, and they've been really appreciated over the last couple of days...you have no idea.
