    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....

I introduced myself in the "Welcome" forum, but I thought I'd stop in and say "Hi" here as well!

I have a Cape Gopher myself that I've had for about four years now. I was looking at the threads about the photo contest and thinking how very hard it is to get a picture of Caesar. He's a FAST booger! But I love him to pieces.

I'll post some pics later this afternoon.

It's nice to find a spot to hang out with some real Pituophis enthusiasts! Definitely one of the most underrated group of snakes in the herping world!
 
Here's some pics. He's really, really hard for me to get pictures of.... (combine his speed with my photography skills, and it's just a mess! LOL)

That's a good looking vertibralis. Are they still vertibralis? Anyway, very nice colouring on him and he looks well kept too.
 
Alicia beat me to it ...so welcome to the site.
Good looking snake, and we hope to see some pics entered in next months contest. :thumbsup:
 
I'll definitely enter next month! I never win such contests, though... :( :eek:

Thanks for the comments! BTW...that's not stuck shed on his head or anything...he'd crawled under one of the patio chairs and gotten cob webs on his head.

Wes...he's either vertibralis or catenifer. I can never remember which one is the most recent designation. :eek:
