    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....

Okay since I have had a chance to go out lately and have some goood luck you woould think I would be fine ging a week or two with getting the shakes:) Well I lost my herping bud since we are on opposite ends of the workweek now. So finding others does not always pan out. So I decided to go out by myself recently.. For a quick 2 hour hike and 2 hours one way and then back it was definetely worth it too me.

First find of the day with 1 minute into the trip AND a LIFER for me. I had ONLY seen 1 DOR in the past..

Very cool pics.
Where are you at inCa? And where did you see all of these herps?
 
Those are some great photos. Ever go to Joshua Tree & hike through the park? I've been a couple of times about a year ago, but all I 'caught' were were flower photos...
 
oh i'm so excited some people and I are going field herping after the Super show in June! those are really nice snakes!
