    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....

Hello,

My name is Thomas, and I've been a member here for a little while, but I'd yet to post an introduction thread. I'm located in southwestern Missouri close to the Oklahoma/Arkansas/Kansas borders. I've kept a menagerie of different species over the years, but my current collection is as follows:

New Caledonian Crested Geckos (Correlophus ciliatus)
Forest Armadillo Lizard (Cordylus tropidosternum)
Children's/Spotted Python (Antaresia childreni x maculosa)
Ball Python (Python regius)
Chacoan Horned Frogs (Ceratophrys cranwelli)
Ringed Salamander (Ambystoma annulatum)
Western Slimy Salamander (Plethodon albagula)

I'm currently breeding my New Caledonian Crested Geckos just as a hobby project, but I hope to expand to other species in the near future. Professionally, I work as a office clerk (and fill-in animal care technician) at a nonprofit no-kill animal shelter.

I'm particularly interested in dwarf/micro geckos, obscure/uncommon fossorial snakes, caecilians, and newts/salamanders.

Cheers,

Thomas
