    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 turn....

We all teased Steve about his pictures of Casper (well, I did, anyway); so I thought it was only fair that, while he is visiting, I open myself up for the same abuse. His look has changed quite a bit since I saw him this summer, with much of his yellow base filling in with light brown (kinda milk chocolate-ish) speckles. In some areas, it is just a bit of flecking...in others, the scales have totally turned.

It was about 4am, and I couldn't sleep, so I dragged him out...I might try for some better ones in the not too distant future.

I think Steve would agree that the darker areas, like the ones circled in red in this pic, used to look like the area circled in blue...and that much of the yellow had minimal flecking.

Well, as long as you commented, Alicia...doesn't he look MUCH better in person?
 
That snake has got to be the most frustrating one in the world to take a picture of. :angry:

See....not all my pics are bad due tot he photographer. Sometimes it's the subject as well. :rofl:

Glad you guys got home OK and hopefully the kids didn't scare you out of ever stopping by again. :rofl:

Steve, Alicia...I think these actually represent him pretty darn well (too bad he was checking out his new digs)

Those are pretty good ones. I really love his neck. That coloring is the best part IMO.
