    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....

IT is 4x2x4 oak ply sealed with non toxic shellac. I put an access panel on the front to easily take the tub out to change water without the monitor escaping.(fast buggers) I put plastic chicken mesh on the walls for climbing. Steamed the branches to rid them of critters. There is a substrate dam spartating the water tub area from the substrate area. About 6 inches of cypress mulch. a 125 watt heat bulb to keep things toasty in there. He seems to love it. He climbs all over it and swims in the tub.

Thank you. I got it at Lowes or Home Depot. I cant remember which. I believe Lowes though. I have since removed it because it was stapled on and difficult to clean. But I did re-install it with some screws with fender washers so it is removable for better cleaning.
 
Thank you. He loves climbing all over it and usually hides under his water tub when he is sleeping. He seems to enjoy it very much. The Lowes and the Home depot by me are actually right behind each other. :D
