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.....

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....
Possible mites?? I'm not sure.

Hard to tell. Typically you wouldn't find just one though.
Try wiping your snake down with a damp white paper towel and see if you find any black specks moving on it afterward.

How large was this? Mites are tiny so unless you magnified this I doubt that is a mite.

that is a beetle not a mite.

Looks like a varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci). They can be a pest species that damage clothing, upholstery, and carpet. I would look around and see if you can find more. If one found it's way into your snake cage there might be enough in your house to be a legitimate problem. If you find more, call an exterminator.
