    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.....

    =====================


    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....

just a few test shots with the new camera
(working the learning curve...oh yeah, lol)
 
I like the first one, too. Alot. If I had to keep my hand in there much longer, she might have tried for a taste (past due for her feeding - my bad...but she was in a shed when I wanted to feed her). the spider (goliath birdeater) was a little ticked at me...I was hoping to get his fangs in the pic, maybe next time. the last one is Flash, my wife's frog - that was the first picture I took with the camera
 
Gosh I wonder why you like the pic of the python (boa?), really I wonder. :) I'm like WOWZER that's a great picture. I'd say that camera is a keeper. I like Flash too. I also have a stuffed frog, his name is Speedy, it says so on his belly!

Thanks for telling me about this, I'd have missed it for sure. I've been Ebaying a little bit too much lately and selling a ton of stuff I don't need.

Karen,
you mean you not only manage to decide you don't need stuff, but you actually get rid of it too??? Now I'm impressed. Good thing I didn't do that with my reptile stuff. I still had boxes of supplies and equipment, cages, heaters, etc in the basement from about 7-8 years ago. and I didn't think I was gonna get back into this...just couldn't bring myself to toss it, sell it, give it away.
btw, did you see my newest addition? http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69246
 
Those are incredible pictures. I recently got a new digital camera it is not what I hoped for, frankly it sucks, its OK for people and such but when it comes to the details in a snakes eyes or the hairs on a spiders legs my camera doesn't stand a chance on its best settings. This just reminds me of the saying "you get what you pay for". Again great photos & nice camera
 
those pics were with an Olympus C-5500. I like it, but it is taking a little getting used to - mostly because there is sometimes an extended period between pressing the button and taking the picture, and if the subject moves (or I do) I get a blur or missed shot.
