    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 baby pueblan was trying to shed, and i woke up in da morning and it had a cut in the middle of it,and its skin on its tail was alll dry and sticky, i had a 2 ft gray banded king that died the same way. My mom figured the cut got infected, but what about the dry and sticky skin? does anybody know anything about this?

Can you give a little more information? What do you mean it had a "cut" in the middle of it? Did the cut go down the body or around it? Also, did you notice any cuts on the snake before you found it that morning?

About the sticky shed skin. Freshly shed skin is still fairly soft and can be sticky. I have caught my milksnakes shedding and found the skin to be very sticky. I am sure it has something to do with the process of shedding where the epidermis splits so the upper layer is shed and the lower layer is retained.
