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.

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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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 favorite snake (Shag) surprised me this morning!

They were a couple for almost the entire time since last July, except for a month or so when they were separated and cooled.
She didn't look gravid, but I really don't know.
The male was a lazy fat guy, I only witnessed copulation once.
Female carpet was a normal looking Irian Jaya and the male is a spitfire, or something like that.

Honestly, she may have been gravid and you never noticed. She could have died from complications or if she was gravid (for awhile) and you still had the male in there for a long time she could have been very stressed out and couldnt lay her clutch because of the male in there so she ended up passing away. Maybe you want to get an ultrasound done to her. Does she look thicker than normal (even by a little bit)? Have you been offering her food (if so, has she taken it?)
I'm almost 100% sure my albino is gravid and she doesnt even look that much thicker than normal, so you honestly may just be overlooking it...

She looked absolutely normal, not even any scale separation or anything that indicate she was abnormally fatter around.
I haven't offered food for a little while and if I did she didn't take it. But, she did eat a small rat March 9th with the last time before that being January 22nd.
On the Carpet Python babies; All 17 were alive, the last one just came out of his shell during the night and died, and two of them escaped out of the sealed incubator (I don't have a clue as to how either).
So, I have 14 great looking Carpet babies left that are separated in their own drawers and doing well.

Well if she didnt look bigger at all she probably wasnt gravid so I guess you can eliminate that idea. Did you bring her somewhere to get checked out to see how she passed?
Gorgeous carpets man, congrats again! I'm excited about all the babies I have that will be coming out in the next 1-2 months!

I haven't located a reptile vet yet in Michigan that I would trust to know what they were talking about but I am looking. It may be too late though, she's been in the freezer since the day she died.
Thanks, these babies have lots of red bellies, I'm hoping it really takes off after a few sheds.

Your right, it wouldnt be worth going to a vet that is unsure of what he/she is doing. I would ask around to anyone in Michigan for a good exotic animal vet just incase if you ever need one.
Post some pics of the little guys after a few sheds!
