    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 have a Northern Brown Snake that I need to give away before I leave for college in August. She is very friendly, likes to be held and is generally very calm. She is not difficult to care for. I currently keep her in a 10 gallon tank because she likes to do a lot of exploring, digging and climbing. She likes to eat European Night crawlers and slugs and rarely refuses food. Would prefer to give her to someone close to the D.C metro area. Shes free to a good home.

Is that something you or someone else caught out in the wild?

She was wild caught about a year ago, though you wouldn't be able to tell because she is so calm and unafraid and easygoing.
 
I would suggest that the best recourse may be to just release the snake wherever it was found. Assuming the area is still there, of course. Most people are not going to have a ready and steady supply of what you have been feeding it at their disposal.

Unfortunately, I can't. After two years living in captivity, Toph has become too conditioned to living with people to be safely released and second chance rescue (center for rehabilitation/ release) won't accept animals who have been in captivity for more than two weeks, probably for this reason. Besides it isn't hard at all to find earthworms. If you can't find them around your house after a rain or you can't find them by digging in the ground, they are pretty easy and inexpensive to buy online ($23-28 for 600 worms).

Slugs are also relatively easy to find in her size, but harder to find online. Nassarius snails are easy and inexpensive to buy online (25 dollars for 50 on reefs2go.com.)
 
You may want to check local elementary and jr high schools. Many teachers will accept small snakes as classroom mascots. Especially jr high science rooms.
