    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....

A little over a year ago, many individuals and businesses/organizations were previously contacted regarding participation in the 2013 Fall Herpers Survey, designed to get a sense of attitudes and opinions of the “herper community.” Though it took a long time to analyze the data, the final report is now available! It can be downloaded at this link. The file is 7.03MB.

The survey was sponsored through a grant from the Southwestern Center for Herpetological Research (www.southwesternherp.com), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Therefore, some of the questions specifically address herp-related concerns in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. However, there are also many questions which have universal application, and you may find them useful for your own business/organization even if you aren’t located in those six states.

A similar survey is planned for Fall 2015. Depending on funding available from other interested organizations, the survey may expand to include topics of concern for other states and countries in addition to the general-interest questions and regional focus. Suggestions for topics to explore are welcome; an email address is included on the inside cover of the report to provide your feedback.

Please feel free to share this email with other interested people and organizations as you see fit.
