    **************************************************
    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....

Greetings from PA! New herp owner.

No one really replies to these threads, but I thought I'd introduce myself anyway. :) Longtime herp admirer, new herp (snake) owner! I adopted (rescued) my sweet by Tango about a month ago and he has been my new best friend ever since. I'm also seeking a leucy Eastern rat but am finding them harder to come by. I've already used this forum's BOI to check out vendors at the recent Hamburg, PA expo (very helpful!) Thank you!

Ouch, that hurts. Welcome Alissa (and tango) to Fauna! Of course if you've already been using the BOI, then you know what a wealth of information is here at your disposal. Enjoy!

Lol, welcome threads have very few replies. That said, thank you for the warm welcome! ;)
 
:rofl:, I agree it hurts. But, seriously, I try and respond to the welcome the threads. Apparently, I still need to work on being more proficient at doing it. Also, your Pantherophis guttatus looks great. How/what organization did you rescue your specimen from?
 
Tango was a Craigslist snake because I was having trouble finding a somewhat affordable surplus adult from breeders. They tend to be priced for breeding, and I needed one priced for educational use. :) He is in fantastic condition (although there is a rather ongoing debate about whether his weight of 470g is too much at 1.5 years). He is healthy, happy, active, and already in his second shed! Unlike my first rescue, Ruby (who came from an awful family), he was being rehomed because the woman's boyfriend didn't like snakes (IMO...get a new boyfriend! ;))

I'm quite in love with him.
