    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....

Hey guys!

So people keep telling me to do research about feeding, and I have! Trust me! But I'm hearing different things from others and it's quite confusing!

My Lou is a hatching albino Nelson milksnake. The Clerk at the reptile shop said she had been feeding her noisemaker crickets since the pinkies were still to large. Make sense right?? (To me, at least) but! I have not seen any videos about feeding them crickets. They keep feeding them the pinkies. Lou is probably no thicker than a pencil, should I try to feed her a pinki still? Even though it's easily at least twice as thick as her?

Thanks guys, it means a lot!

Nelson's milksnakes can eat pinkies for their first meal. There is no reason to attempt to feed it crickets. It may not even eat them. It sounds like the pet store clerk had no idea what she was talking about. Give it a pinky.
