    **************************************************
    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 thought I'd show off my 3 guys. I finally sat down to get some pics of them. They weren't very cooperative in terms of sitting still, but I guess I should be thankful I didn't get musked on. I try to handle them regularly and it's paying off. Musk is the worst :>Puke<:

Gollum my T. sirtalis took the longest to tame down even though he was my first. He also won't take pinkis unless they're scented with frog. He's eaten dozens of scented pinkis, but he'll let an unscented pinki die rather than eat it :shrug01:

The second picture is of Smeagol one of my T. elegans. He hails from Humbolt county. He started out this solid olive color, but has been getting redder with each shed. The third pic is from Deagol, another T. elegans. Deagol is from Snata Barabara, he's typical of this locality. I think that he and Smeagol present an interesting contrast since they have very different appearences, but are members of the same subspecies.
