    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 NEED HELP FAST!!!!! <-----------

OK GUYS I REALLY NEED SOME HELP ON THIS ONE!! MY GIRLFRIENDWENT OUT AND BOUGHT ME 2 VERY RED DRAGONS FOR MY BIRTHDAY (1M/1F). I'VE HAD THEM FOR ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS NOW. THE MALE IS DOING GREAT.HE LOOKS GOOD AND EATS GREAT. HE IS IN MINT CONDITION, BUT THE FEMALE SHE IS NOT DOING SO GOOD. SHE EATS LIKE A PIG BUT SHE STOPPED USING HERE FRONT LEFT LEG. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER HER RIGHT BACK LEG STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE THE UVB LIGHT AND I GIVE THEM PLENTY OF CALCIUM POWDER ON THERE CRICKETS AND GREENS. THESE DRAGONS ARE ONLY ABOUT 9" LONG AND THEY ARE BOTH GREAT. DO YOU THINK THE MALE IS DOING THIS TO HER? I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY LAY ON EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME AND I NEVER SEEN HIM BE AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS HER AT ALL. SHE STILL EATS LIKE A PIG BUT I WANT HER TO BE HEALTHY. ANY INFO WOULD BE VERY HELPFULL. OR IF SOME ONE COULD TELL ME A GOOD VET IN THE DOWNRIVER AREA (MICHIGAN) THAT DEALS WITH EXOTICS PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

THANKS,

It's hard to say what might be causing the paralysis. It could be impaction, it could be a wound, it could be a ton of things. Too many "things" it might be....... I would separate them immediately and get the vet right away.

Good luck,
