    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.

    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'm back after a an unfortunate break.

So I haven't been here in a while (I'm glad i remembered my login lol) Long story short a blown breaker in my old house killed my old collection. I was ruined. But recently me and my wife decided to buy a ball python from Craigslist and I think i caught reptile fever again. I also want to give this community a big thank you to this killer community, things have changed alot in the past 4 years and i don't think I would be getting back to reptiles if it wasnt for the great people here.
 
That's a heart-breaking loss to have gone through...wishing you much better luck (& better housing) this time around. I've been an inactive member here for a long time, just recently started putting in my 2 cents, so I don't remember you from before, but that's OK- welcome back!
 
Thank you, I wasn't super active before. I will be building a new snake rack and starting a reptile room from scratch in the next couple weeks.
 
I had been active on another forum that died out, then another one that is now very quiet. (Sure hope I'm not a jinx?) I happen to like forums like this, but some say "social media" is stealing many of the participants? (-and let's just say I'm not impressed with FB etc)
Anyway, we'll look forward to your updates...this seems to be a great "community" here.
I have 2 dogs (mixes) and currently 16 snakes. I'm partial to rat snakes, but I've had a BCI & a number of BPs in the past. (been keeping lots of snakes for many years)
 
Yea, I'm not on FB but I am on reddit. when I lost my animals I had 9 boas of all different morphs, 3 normal ball pythons, 1 fish tank, 5 juvenile turtles, 2 corn snakes and 2 axolotls. All gone overnight. now my sig has my animals as of this moment hopefully expanding soon.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss! That is heartbreaking. I'm glad to see you are moving forward and haven't lost your passion for the hobby. Welcome back!
 
Thanks April, the hard times look to be in my past finally, the loss of my pets was just the starting point. Now things are looking up again and I haven't been this excited in a long time.:)
 
I'm so sorry about your terrible loss. Glad you are back. This is a good, solid community. It is my hope that anyone who has recently considered putting a critter up for adoption will contact you and perhaps send the critter to you. I'm glad to hear about your ball python, that is a good start.
 
Thank you Lucille, I've had other hobbies but something about the people and animals here just called me back lol.
 
I am very sorry for your loss. I am sure it is heartbreaking, but, I am glad you are starting a new collection. Is it a color/colour mutation ball python? Or just the wild type?
