    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Please help!!

I have an 11'+ .1 normal burm that i acquired a couple months ago. shes eaten and everything and seems fine, the only problem is that she has shed, but not her eyes or head, and some scales on her body seem to be turning white, but it looks like the white would peel off. i dont know anyone who's ever had anything like that happen, so if anyone could help me that would be AWESOME. thank you so much.
 
I have two Burms myself. They are notorious for haveing a hard time shedding. Its pretty simple to fix. Just giver her a warm soak in water for about a half hour. Then, lightly rub the loose scales with your fingers and see if they come off. If not, keep soaking until they do. Pay special attention to the eyecaps and be very gentle in peeling them and the rest of the skin off. If you don't force it, it should all come off okay. If the eyecaps are realy stubborn, more than one soaking session may be required. Sometimes, they will come off with subsequent sheds too but NEVER let eyecaps collect if they don't.
 Good luck! -Heather
 
another way to get eyecap off I have found it really effective is after soaking the animal use scotch tap and put it on the cap and it will just come right off. it works with ball python since a lot of them have shed problems

anyways hope this help
