• 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....

he is 2 years and she was captive bred. I bought her from reptilesandcritters when she was only a baby so a few years ago.
She likes a mix of the items on this food chart http://bluetongueskinks.net/foodchart.html

In particular, she likes the following mix: beet greens, a bit of bok choy, collard greens, escarole, mustard greens, watercress, turnip greens, green beans, acorn squash, rasberries and mango. In terms of protein, she likes grain free canned dog food. The brand I've been feeding her, which is recommended among keepers, is Merrick. Nature's instinct is also fine. You can feed her cockroaches or any of the frequently to be fed items listed on the link.

She is a bit shy but once she gets to know you, she will be an awesome companion for many years :). She will come with a 55 gallon terrarium, water glass bowl, hubba hut hide, heat lamp, and coconut fiber bedding.

Location: I am located in Iowa City but would be willing to travel to nearby cities!
