    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....

Hi everyone I'm a new member to the site and was just wondering if anyone has kept Geophis species, specifically Geophis brachycephalus and/or Geophis hoffmani. I love the iridescence on these snakes and their small size. They sort of remind me of a tropical version of midland brown snakes due to their size and diets. I'm a sucker for small species of snakes, especially fossorial ones and these guys definitely fit the bill!

I highly doubt there is any market for these snakes, let alone anyone that actually breeds them, but its worth a shot right?
 
I am equally as interested in these snakes as you are. I too have a fondness for small fossorial snakes. I'm familiar with this genus (through Jay Savage's exceptional guide to amphibians and reptiles of Costa Rica), but I haven't come across any references to them in the US hobby. I hope they do exist here, and that someone is attempting to breed them.

Unfortunately, I also doubt there is a market for them, for the simply reason that I like them...
