    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....

My name is Miqe Erikzén, a.k.a "Miqe Morbid". I was born 1966 in Uppsala, Sweden. I am married with Thess since 2001 and I have a teenage daughter born 1988,from a previous marriage and a newborn daughter (December 2004). We live in a small village right between Uppsala and Norrtalje called Knutby, Sweden.

I have kept herptiles since the mid-80´s. By then I didn´t keep any venomous reptiles but animals like the American Cornsnake and similar European snakes. The European herpetofauna has always fascinated me, and the interest for this geografic group of herptiles has been growing over the years.

The interest for venomous snakes has always been there but, I thought that I didn´t have the nessecary experience to keep any until late -90´s. In 1996, I got my first "hotsnake", a Vipera aspis.
 
Here´s a list of what species I keep..

Vipera ammodytes ammodytes, Locality: Kôrita, Bosia
Vipera orlovi, Locality: Gelenzig, Russia
Vipera renardi, Russia
Gloydius halys caranganus, Locality: Lake Balkhash, Russia
Hyla arborea, Germany
Podarcis sicula cettii, Sardinia
Cyrtopodion kotschyi

Sounds like some pretty cool stuff. I am not as familiar with European species and their nomenclature as I am some other areas. What are the common names of your charges?
 
V.a.ammodytes - Longnosed viper
V. orlovi - Orlov´s viper
V. renardi - Dunno.. I know it´s a meadow-viper..
G. h. caranganus - Siberian pitviper
H. arborea - European green treefrog
P. s. cettii - Italian wallizard
C. kotschyi - Kotschy's Gecko

Here´s a good site for the European species.. http://www.herp.it/
