• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Hey all!
First time posting. We are reptile lovers with several species that share our home. One of which is an approximately 14 yr old skink. He's in great health but is very picky when it comes to his diet. He refuses fruits and veggies, opting only for egg or canned pet foods. We only offer him the canned stuff with pure beefs and no harmful additives.
We have offered him a great variety, and have tried to pressure "starve" him to try some of these healthier items but to no avail.
If anyone has experienced something similar and might have some advice please let me know.
Thanks much!
 
I had a northern that would only eat lean meats and boiled eggs. I had to mix veggies into it to get him to eat them. He did eat grapes on his own though. Try dicing up the healthy stuff and mix it into it's dog food even if it tries to eat around it it's bound to eat a little bit of it. Best of luck to you.
