    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....

Glass top tanks?

I am looking to buy a blue tongue skink soon, so I am looking at my options for tanks. I know that a 40 gallon long tank is best, so I am doing price checks for different places. I went to a small pet store by my house and the guy there said that he doesn't have any reptile things in stock, but he can order a glass top 40 gallon long tank, with lights, for $150. I have never heard of a glass top tank. Any advice on them? Am I better off with a screen top? I didn't think to ask him this, but maybe someone here knows the answer: How does the lighting work? Are there cut outs for them.. If not, wouldn't the lights heat the glass too much? Or the tank not enough?
 
I think it would be best to ask the person who is offering to order it those questions. Their are dozens of different types of enclosures available for purchase and their is no way for anyone here to provide an accurate answer.
