    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, wanted to introduce myself

My name is Mike and I just bought a 2 year old Rosy named Luther. I've been the owner of 2 corn snakes in the past, and I am blown away by how much more awesome Luther is! I have found my new favorite snake! So docile and chill, not like the corn tring at every second to get away from me. I did have a couple of questions though. From everything I've read I see that humidity is a bad thing, but how much is bad? I live in New Mexico so we have absoutly no humidity which helps, but even then my gauge reads about 20-30%. I have a feeling this is not detremintal to him, but I get very fanatical with husbandry and would love to know the proper temps and humidity levels. I have read so many different things online, some say no water bowl, some say a tiny unspillable water bowl slightly filled, some say a water bowl every two to three days for a couple of hours or so, some say he'll get the moisture he needs from his prey......and so on and so on. To be honest with you, right now his temps are 83-85 on the warm side, with a hot spot of about 90, 73-75 on the cool side and about 80 in the center, and like I said the humidity is always around 35%. Is this good? Oh ya another burning question, when the summer comes and we blast the a/c is there a way to insulate his 20 gallon tank? My wife likes it cold during the hot new mexico summers. Maybe a blanket wrapped around his tank? Heck I don't know. Anyone that has had to deal with this please help! Sorry for the long post...next time I'll break it up into chapters!
Thanks again and hope to met you guys soon,
Mike and Luther
btw I'll post some pics soon
