    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....

Hi all ,
I am new to this site ,but want to learn . I thought I would suprise my boyfriend and show him I am intrested in learning about his hobby .In Feb we went to the reptile show and I enjoyed it very much. Never knew there were snakes that ate eggs. Well my son (who is 7) and my boyfriend talked me into a beautiful corn snake names Elvis .(My son called him Elvis ,he said so mom when he gets out we can say Elvis has left the building )Not cute when your just getting used to snakes lol. He is about 7-9 months old and has a beautiful pattern. Yesterday I was trying to be brave and pick him up but when he moved fast I jumped away . I don't know why . I am not frightened of him when my boyfriend hands him to me .Just when I try to take him out . Is there a secret? I really would like to get Elvis used to being held and then maybe I can hold some of the other adult snakes my boyfrind has without fear. Thus the name Girlygirl - He calls me that in a cute way ,so I thought the screen name was only fitting. :)
 
Welcome!!! There's no "trick", just pick up Elvis really slowly. He moves fast because he's scared. Don't worry just let him calm down.
Do you have any pictures of him???
 
I do have a photo of him but don't know how to post it. I picked him up once to hand to the boys without even thinking about it ,but just can't seem to do it again .
