    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....

It's Augusts 29th 2-3 days ago noticed this on myball python (image included)
Have not changed his tank design or heating pads ETC since I got him about a year ago have not had any problems tell 2-3 days ago when he had a problem shedding I thought it was a humidity problem because Calgary can become very dry at times so I added more frequent moisture to his cage , some tell me it is a thermal burn and some tell me it is scale rot , seeing that both are potential I am asking for more opinions

Because his belly scales all along his body seem like a thermal burn the end of this tail has some what scabbing like infection occurring so I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem

I would suggest a vet. But until you can find one, Neosporin works wonders! Change out his bedding to paper towels and keep them as dry as possible.

What kind of heat are you using? That looks like a burn.

If you have a heat pad is it regulated by a thermostat?
