    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....

I'm sure this has been posted before but I don't know how to go about looking through old posts. I want to look into building my own racks for sand boas and hognoses, what material is best and where can I get it? I've heard wood, pvc, and something called melamine.
 
All three materials can be used to make great enclosures and racks. Home depot would be a good box store to go look at materials as they carry all 3 options (melamine, plywood and pvc sheet). If you have someone with wood working experience it would be helpful if you can get them to help you cut the materials to the sizes you'll want. Since you're wanting to build a rack for small species you'll want to keep close tolerances. Of the 3 choices I'd go with PVC first, and melamine 2nd. Wood would be my third choice since it would require the most work. (Staining and sealing the wood).
