    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....

I just bought my Rosy Boa today. It is a desert rosy boa.

My question is regarding her tail. At the very very tip of her tail, it is dry and hard. It almost looks ... dried out ?? Other than this, she is healthy. She moves around, doesn't seem to mind to be handled and has become used to her tank quickly.

Any ideas as to what may be wrong with her tail ? Someone told me it could be stress that caused it ... I have no clue.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Two possibilities come to mind.

The first is that it is normal tail shape. Rosies do have a hardened tip to thier tails on occasion, especially the larger ones. It is a normal thing.

The second is that the tip of the tail has not shed off properly and it is now mis-shapen.

Could you post a pic of it? That would be really helpful.
 
that is what someone I asked said ... the tip of the tail may not have shed off all the way.

how do i post a picture ? that would help me clear up my worries.

thank you !
 
I can't help with the picture question but don't worry too much about the tail. It is a natural feature for them to have a blunt tail and that may be all that it is.

Do you have a digital camera?
