    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....

We have a very rare pair of US CBB Bull Horned Lizards (P. taurus) for sale. I would never sell them but my wife and I are having our first baby soon and I need to make time for parenthood. They eat great on small crickets and dubia but I will say that you need to offer ants pretty frequently. They can be readily purchased from antsalive.com and preserved in the fridge pretty easily. You can buy 1000 for $25 shipped and keep them in ants for a month.

$1500 shipped for this gorgeous pair.

Haha yep 3 female asio are liable to produce a big bunch of babies. They are my favorite herp species. Taurus are a close second but they are much rarer!
 
Hey Jeff, that is crazy! You're right about Oregon not allowing it. You could also just collect your own. You could collect a large amount and refrigerate and/or freeze them. Lots of people have had success with feeding frozen thawed ants to their phrynosoma. The pogonomyrmex barbatus which are commercially available are not these guys' favorite anyway. To be honest they prefer the ants I find around my house. I think they are called Red Pavement Ants (formicidae tetramorium caespitum). If you know a place to find either kind and it's feasible for you to collect them that is a fine option. Just some thoughts. This is an insanely cool species.
 
Hey are you in touch with Joel Reep? He emailed me and it sounds like the pair available may be yours. Are they sold already?
