    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....

yes he is sleeping....not dead......this is a thing for him ever since he was about 6 ft. (he is now 13 ft.). every once in a while i will walk in my herp room, and there he is on his back (all of him except his head) coiled, and "asleep".......my question is ....does anyone know anything about this behavior, does anyone have a burm (or any other snake for that matter) that appears to sleep on their back. thanks in advance
 
That's normally what females do when they are gravid to help warm their eggs. I've never seen a male do it, but with Burms I've learned anything is possible.
 
I've never seen this in burms, but a few of my ball python males will lay on their backs for hours after returning to their own tubs after very long sessions of breeding ( copulating for more than 24 hours ).
