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....

Hognose: Madagascan Golden and "Neotropical" info/pic request

Barry,

I really appreciate your offer but I'm planning on keeping all the animals to form a breeding colony.

Thanks :)
 
Barry,

One way or the other let's stay in touch. Who knows what the future might bring. So you know I'm a sucker for hondurans too. ;)
 
Dear Barry,

I came across a photo and reference to a dicephalic Lystrophis on the livefoodshop.com website. I am not yet a member (but have registered to join) but I am hoping the message and photo were posted by either you or your colleague.

I have been studying two-headed snakes for many years and am trying to document specimens (dead or alive) that are in private collections as they rarely make it into the scientific literature.

I would like to contact the owner of the two-nosed hognose snake. If it is you, terrific. If not, please help if you can.

Thanks very much, Van
