    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....

So, tonight was feeding night. Having had three days to acclimate to their new home I figured I would attempt to feed my two new Kenyans. It was Python feeding night so what the heck, lets get them on the same schedule, right?

Anyway, the python ate with his usual bravado. Then it came time to feed my new kenyans. I put two small hoppers in the tank and waited.... and waited... and waited. About the time I pretty much gave up I heard a familiar screech. To my horror I see that one of the hoppers has been partially dragged into the sand by a front leg. But that the snake was not wrapping him up. This went on for an eternity, poor mouse, until I finally pulled the mouse up by the tail... pulling the snake out of the sand with him. When I let go the snake sprung around the mouse and constricted and ate him.

Later that night the second one met a similar fate. Again I pulled the mouse and snake up. And again when I let go the snake quickly constricted and killed the mouse. Only this snake basically just killed him and left. Mouse was still there in the morning.

Is this normal behavior for Keynans? I just got them. Is this just a sign of a Kenyan that is not fully acclimated to its tank and dosnt want to some out of the sand?
