    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....

They can be quite docile when captive raised, yes. The toxicity of their venom is comparable to a rattlesnake's, but the amount of venom actually injected by these rear fanged snakes is very small indeed. There have been some bites to hobbyists with little or no consequences.

However there was one bite from a large wild caught adult specimen that resulted in a fairly serious envenomation to a researcher. I would suggest treating these snakes with a bit of caution, though there is probably no need to be terribly paranoid about them, especially smaller specimens.
