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.

    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....

Look at this beauty!!!!

That's a gorgeous snake! Nice job. What a cool pic.
I've always wanted snakes, my parents wont let me have them.. :(
 
They are hard to resist. Some of the Gabinos a buddy used to have were turquoise, orange, red mixes and patterns that were unreal. That's a beauty.

It is very rewarding but dangerous if you are not careful.... When You are ready to learn, let me know....
 
I'll have a nice viper collection once Conor is grown up a bit. I have the best mentor/trainer for keeping venomous too, right here in my house!

I know I am the internet dweeb But Its inbreed what can I say...My mom my sister and me all research dweebs...But hey at least every animal I have gets the best care cause I do my research...LOL.Would love a Hottoe But hubby would kill me..He is soooo not a reptile person never mind hots.

I've got my sites set on a copperhead. I know every venomous snake is dangerous and all deserve equal respect but in terms of toxicity its not enought to kill a full grown man, or at least thats what I hear, could be wrong. Not to mention its a U.S. native so getting anti venom shouldnt be too much of a hassle
 
Nice Pic Gregg! I think snakes are beautiful creatures, even though most scare the crap out of me lol

Tom, drop me a PM so we can chat....
 
Oh boy....At least Gregg has learned his lesson about PMs :raspberry

As for me...you'll never catch me with a HOT in my house...unless it slithers it's way in here. Illinois isn't really known for HOTs climbing up 3 flights of stairs in suburbia just to bother a herper (and make her eat her words).
