    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....

I have a question, I live in North Carolina, and I was in the mountains about a month ago and my boyfriend and I came across what looked to be a black snake, so we were trying to pick it up, not harming it at all, but it was swift to get away, and it as it got about a foot away from us it curled up and started to shake its tail, it was a rattle snake, mixed with a black snake, it seemed like it at least. I was wondering if this was possible, it was black but if you looked closely you could see white in it and white on its belly.
 
Many colubrids in the U.S. do this; they rattle their tails against the dead vegetation, creating a sound not unlike that of rattlesnakes, deterring possible predators.

Colubrids and pit-vipers cannot mix.
