    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 picked up a female spider and she was around 865 grams but i have had her for about 3 months and she still hasnt eaten and i am getting frustrated. this is the 3rd snake i have had this problem with but the others start eating after i try a few things but this little girl is kicking my butt. she is not 715 grams. does anyone have any suggestions? the person i bought her from said it is normal she does that but ive had bp's for awhile and they dont have this problem. took to vet and she said perfectly fine. or am i just getting over worried??

thank you for your time..
 
That's a good amount of weight lost in three months, IMO. Does that included going #1 & #2 since you got her or just straight body mass loss?

What HAVE you been feeding her and how? We need to know what you've already tried to make a better/other suggestion.

My albino spider will only eat live, late at night. So the only way I can feed her is to leave a rat that is at a harmless age in with her overnight. Sucks and if she doesn't change, she'll be eating crawlers for a long time.

I had another that would only eat frozen thawed brown rats that weren't left on ground level. She was frightened of live rats.
 
when i got her i was told she eats small rats he told me frozen or live so i tried both didnt want so fed them to my nile. tried asfs and mice and rat pups she wont take and the wait loss includes 1 and 2 she drinks like a horse. she took one trat pup but after that nothing.
