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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Hey folks!

I've had this Fauna account for a while but I haven't posted yet due to this very annoying thing called anxiety.

Anyway my name is Lyndsey! I got into herps two years ago and have since gathered what I now lovingly refer to as my little "nerd herd".

Joy is my mack snow leopard gecko and she was my first reptile ever! She's missing a few toes but it doesn't stop her from running around on my bed at night

The chunky sumatran lady below is Angela. She was my first snake and is quite a character

This skinny guy is named Basilis and he was a rescue. We took him from someone who deliberately fed him only once a month for ten years to purposely stunt his growth. How some people can be so cruel I'm not really sure... I'm just glad we have him now

Mister orange belly here is Romeo. He's a black and white argentine and he loves nothing more than exploring around my room and eating lots of bugs and rodents! As far as he's concerned fruits are evil and not to be trusted, but we're working on it

Now this girl here isn't mine; she belongs to my mother but I do share in her care and I love her all the same. Her name is Daphne and boy does she love being wrapped up in blanket burritos

Sorry for the big ugly watermark but I've had photos stolen in the past and since I've been wm'ing everything I've had yet to encounter the problem again.

Most of my time is spent taking care of the animals, helping home school my younger brother, and drawing! I consider myself a decent artist, and it's another hobby I enjoy just as much as reptiles. Here are a few of my reptile related works

Hmmm, I don't think I have much more to share about myself except for the fact that I have two empty tubs that need to be filled soon or else I'll start pulling my hair.

I think that's probably enough about me. Looking forward to using the forums!
 
Hello and welcome. No need to have anxiety, however I can relate. Good to have you here!
 
Welcome Lyndsey !!! May I ask a question ? If I wanted you to draw my pied would you ? Lol I love your pics ! Now I'm looking at my pied going you need to be on a canvas hahaha. I'd pay for your time and shipping of it plz lol. It would look amazing over my rack.

Canvas as in paint? Or just a pencil drawing? I'm afraid I can't paint worth jack but I can definitely draw you something in pencil and color it if you'd like?
