    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 king snake and she's a year old, I've been taking her to an exotic vet because I thought she had a parasite or infection. We did blood and fecal work and nothing came back positive yet what's been going on with her is that she has blood coming out her vent everytime she goes to the bathroom and when she does it's diarrhea. She also hasn't been eating for a while. The vet doesn't know what's wrong with her and I don't know either. I'm planning on taking her to a better vet but I have no clue what they can do or say
 
I would definitely get a second opinion.

Also be aware that some parasites, such as crypto, don't always show up on a fecal.
 
The "exotic vet" label does not mean that the practice, or that specific vet, deals much with reptiles...it's worth verifying before spending any more money there. A second opinion is a good option; as long as you seek out a vet with reptile experience.
