    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 hasn't been by choice, but I haven't posted as much as I used to & lately only have had time to log in & check a few things out here & there. Actually miss chatting it up with a lot of people here, so I thought I would take a time out to post a few things I thought few folks might find interesting...

3D TANK BACKGROUND
I couldn't pass up on a deal for used 40 gallon breeder tank & stand I seen online & now having it lay around I finally got the chance to try to make one of them 3d background you see everyone doing. I always wanted to give it a shot & think it actually came out pretty good. I took a decent amount of photos during the process & decided it would be easier to just post a video then all the images.



FORGOTTEN FRIENDS
There has been a lot happening at my job & even multiple schedule changes & I didn't get to do a real vacation this year so I decided to take my son camping a few days over the Labor Day weekend. There were a few events at the camp ground I choose, one being a show put on by the Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary where reptiles would be safely displayed & discussed. I thought it was pretty educational for the kids or anyone not familiar with the critters & the presenter Jesse & his son kept it interesting & fun with facts & little jokes. My son was picked as a volunteer when it came to holding some snakes which was awesome since he doesn't get much interaction with mine anymore. From what I seen so far it seems like they do a lot of good & have there hearts in the right place so if you ever get the chance, check them out there site or on facebook

FROGS & TOADS
When coming come from work I always seem to have a toad in my drive way waiting to welcome me back. My son never was a fan but finally decided to hold on while on that camping trip I mentioned above.

BOA ENCLOSURE UPGRADE
I decide my male boa needed some more room. I decided rather then buying a bigger enclosure & having another extra 48"x 30" boa master set up I would just give him a 2nd floor.
