• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

A recent wild caught agkistrodon contortrix was caught out of Far East Texas.
Absolutely one of the most beautiful specimens in my opinion. Eating well, and doing great in captivity.

I'm glad I never found something like that out in the wild. I might have just quickly grabbed it without stopping to think, "Hey, I wonder if this thing is something venomous?" Especially if it was on the move and I had to either grab it or lose it. There would have been little, if any, visual cues to alert me as to what species it actually is.

Neat looking animal, in any event.

This species isnt known to be very aggressive, in fact even when being defensive they tend to make more warning strikes with very very mild amounts of venom or completely dry bites. That said, their venom isn't very severe unless said person has an allergic reaction to the venom. I still personally would probably try to catch it but be dumb enough to do it bare handed. But copperheads generally have a very docile demeanor. I dont mess around with venomous snakes as anything classified as part of the viper family is strictly banned in my state, but if they weren't venomous or were legal I would love to have them as a species I keep.
