    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....

Hi all,
This seems like such an active and friendly forum. I've been lurking for a while and decided to sign up today.
So, a little bit about myself...
I've always liked herps especially snakes. Caught a lot of snakes, frogs, turtles, toads, and etc. in my childhood. Got a lot of snake bites as a kid too! LOL

Moved to the Madison, WI area from Colorado 3 1/2 years ago. AND recently got back into herps after an almost 10 year hiatus. Feels good to be back!

My secret wish is to have a real (fantasy) dragon. That's the ultimate!

Welcome to Fauna, Tashai!

Sounds like you like the same kinds of books/movies that I do! After reading all the Pern books (Anne McCaffrey) I secretly would love to be "chosen" or at least have a Fire Lizard! If I ever go insane I hope I go to Pern!

Im so joining you on that thought!!! :rofl:

In all seriousness though, the books are GREAT! Which is your favorite? * ive only read a few so far, but i plan on reading the rest soon!*
 
I really couldn't pick a favorite. Every time I try I think about another one that was good too! The thing that is so fantastic about this series is you can pick up any book in it in any sequence and still get a terrific read without spoiling the story.

All the Wyers of Pern I think is one of the best and I've read it at least a dozen times over.

Tashai, if you've never read this series of books, it's about the closest you can get to owning the real thing!

Of course, I love those books! Use to dream about being chosen too!! Even a fire lizard would be awesome but to have a telepathic connection with a dragon! WoW! Now that's cool. Even if I had to fight thread! LOL

It's so hard to choose....
I also like her other series with the Talents of FT&T. AND there are "slithers" on Damia's planet that come and go about the house like dogs. No cages needed! (and no more cleaning cages)

:)
