    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.

    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 recently moved to Placerville, CA.
I have been out road cruising and board flipping with no results. My 3 year old is wanting to see a "wild snake" I haven't been herping in a while like (15 years) and would appreciate any help/feedback.

Anyone know of any good areas/roads in El Dorado county?


Thanks in advance.
 
I found a dead baby gopher snake. It was half sunken in about in a reservoir right off shore.

I really want to find kingsnakes!

I caught a gopher yesterday in a rocky ravine about 100 yards off the American river. I also saw a racer in the same area, but it was so fast I don't know where it went once in the bushes (my first wild racer sighting!).

Am I looking in the wrong topography for kings? I thought rocky, by water with forest and meadows should be good??
