    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....

OK here goes all the questions. Everyone knows I just hatched a bunch of babies a few weeks ago. Well right after they where hatched I sexed them. The boys had little red bobers that stuck up very noticeable.
Now I separated them after their first shed and started to feed them. They have eaten twice. I have not handled them at all during this time (except for one girl). When I went to get out one of my little girls she HISSED at me. Now I am not talking a little hiss but a "I am going to kill you hiss (Like you punctured a tire or something)" She struck at me and even managed to draw a few drops of blood. Now to say the least I was shocked. Have I done them a disservice by leaving them alone? Should I handle them more? I don't want them to become mean or get used to biting people.

Also I want to know is it common to have a hard time sexing boys properly?

I have more questions but for now I will be happy getting these answered. Thanks

Nope... They are small and scared. You are big and invading their space..

Leave them alone.

Not if you know how to do it right...
 
Babies are bitey. They will calm down as they grow and age. There is the occasional one that tries to bite everyone's face off as adults, but they are an exception.
