    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....

oops.. upon registering i was in a rush to get area's filled out and full name got entered as George Nei(i think?) because of a problem with my new touchscreen laptop as well as L not working and I didnt notice until I submitted that info and so anyway...

I am requesting my name amended to Neil George (my real full name).

thanks in advance and i look forward to contributing to this site despite being a newbie and still busy with grad school, etc.

thanks,

Neil G.
 
wow, my first welcome (aside from personal attention via PMsg from the wonderful WebSlave master of this awesome site himself)?

thanks Christopher!

yesterday i received my 3 high white diamondback babies from Dave in PA and it was probably what most triggered me finding and joining here while perusing for info on these little native gems as i was all excited to get them settled in the right way.

i was surprised the babies are more blackish colored than they appeared in bright digital pics (but not at all disappointed!) and wondered how their color will change as they grow up.. well time will tell and am already looking forward to expanding my habitat/care for repts and possibly/inevitably(?) adding to my collection after seeing how tiny and precious baby repts are and how neat it would be for most all the repts i end up having around, been raised from wee babies from the practically the start (ie rather than buying 4"+ pet shop babies which would be more suitable for households with kids, luckily theres no kids on the way that i know of yet at my humble abode).

cheers!
 
Welcome aboard Neil. You will definitely enjoy the site and find plenty to keep you busy reading here. Many years of experience and knowledge behind many if the members on here.

Your babies sound adorable! These are baby Diamondback turtles, right? I'm betting you add to your reptile collection very soon. :)
 
gosh its been a while, like 6mos since i been back on FC.

the smallestone of the high-white diamondback baby trio died, one that grew quickly i gave to a nephew just days ago when it reached over 3.9" and the remaining baby i am giving to the neighbor's son who comes over to see it like everyday wanting to play with it but won't let him have it till it reaches 4" then its all is!
