    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....

Howdy Folks!

How’s everyone doing?
Guess I should start this thing off by telling a bit about myself. My name is John Smith... yes... that’s my real name. I am a Design Engineer in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I am married and have 2 step-daughters. My hobbies include: motorcycling, herping, videogames, hiking, fishing, hunting, and going to the gym. I have kept many reptiles over the years and am looking to get back into it. My love for reptiles started when I was a little kid. My dad caught me an eastern collared lizard. I was fascinated with reptiles from that point on. I have also kept plenty of arachnids, but reptiles are my #1 passion. Besides the collared lizard, I’ve kept tarantulas, black widows, brown recluses, red-headed centipedes, anoles, gargoyle geckos, crested geckos, a Haitian curly tailed lizard, ball pythons, an australian spotted python, a Pygmy rattler, a cottonmouth, a giant vinegaroon, and a savannah monitor. It’s been a few years since I have had anything (life was crazy for a while), but I am finally back into a position to pick it back up. I would really like to acquire a Mangrove Monitor. Once I complete the fabrication of an appropriately sized enclosure, that is. Which brings me to why I’m here. I am currently doing my research and design work for an enclosure and decided to seek out advice from like-minded people. So, it’s a pleasure to meet all of you and feel free to ask me any questions and offer any suggestions. Can’t wait to see what this site has in store for me!
 
Welcome JS3, we hope you enjoy the site. The key to accomplishing that, is participation. Enjoy!
 
Thank you, Robert! I’m pretty excited to actually have people to talk to that have the same passion for reptiles that I have.
