    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....

My kingsnake has always been fed f/t in a sweater box. I feed him plenty so I know that he's not hungry. He has a problem of trying to eat my thumb every time I get him out of his cage. He doesn't strike it or anything, he just opens his mouth and trys to swallow my hand, lol. I was hoping that someone might be able to give me advice on how to keep him from doing this. He's extremely tame except for this problem.

Thx,
Rick
 
I've found that the snakes that like to try to swallow your thumb or fingers are often just "like that" ..... I would try to make sure my hands are spick-n-span before handling and hope he doesn't catch a whiff of mouse! My problem is when it's feeding time I just don't have time to wash my hands 25 times in between feeding each of the snakes, so I know the ones who are "hand munchers" and I try to have a mouse ready to just dump into the cage when it's time to feed. When I want to handle, I have clean waashed hands before handling and usually don't have a problem.
