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

Is it a hobby anymore

Great point about "ruining the hobby" I know I have said similar things in the past and what I have meant is "ruining it for me"

High end Autograph cards, 1/1s and Game used cards have ruined the sports card collecting hobby for me but the hobby is going as strong as ever. I'll say the same for all the morphs in the reptile world but while it has ruined it for me in a lot of instances it has also made it bigger than ever.

Love the pics. I have a friend who does a lot of field herping in WI and IL among trips to FL and other places south. I'd love to go with him but I don't have the patience. I'd be so bummed if I didn't find anything. I wish I still had my melanistic eastern garters.
