    **************************************************
    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....

Hello!

My name is Morgan, but I usually go by Richela online. I’ve been keeping herps for years now, and I’ve gained experience and enjoyment with my own pets and working in animal care. My biggest interests are amphibians, colubrids, and terrestrial geckos.

I currently keep
-1.0 Pantherophis guttatus (Max)
-0.1 Eublepharis macularius (Finn)
-1.0 Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Ronnie)
-1.0 Scaphiopus holbrookii (Toby)
-1.0 Ambystoma mavortium (Theodore)
-1.1 Stenodactylus petrii (Peter and Zora)

My corn snake and leopard gecko are my two oldest pets. I got my corn snake for my 11th birthday, my leopard gecko a few years after, and everything else once I was old enough to pay for everything myself and actually be responsible.

I’m happy with what I have now, but I’m still looking for Rentapia hosii since they’re one of my all time favorites for keeping. I’m looking forward to learning more here!
 
Hello and welcome, Richela. I live in MN too.
You have some very interesting herp species.
