    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....

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU CAN PUT A CORNSNAKE AND A PYTHON TOGETHER IN AN ENCLOSURE. BECAUSE I PURCHASED A 150 GAL TANK AND WOULD LIKE TO REDUCE TANK SPACE, BUT IF NOT I WONT. ALREADY HAVE A 40 GAL AND A 30 GAL SET UP FOR BOTH. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT MY CORN IS NOT EATING, I RESCUED HER FROM A SHELTER ON THE 5 OF MAY AND HASNT EATEN SINCE. I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT, I HAVE THE PROPER SET UP TWO HIDE BOXES, LARGE WATER BOWL, A VINE SO SHE CAN CLIMB AND REPTI-BARK. THE SHELTER SAID I SHOULD GIVE IT A LIVE MOUSE SO SHE COULD EAT, DID THAT ON THE FOLLOWING DAY LIKE THE SHELTER SUGGESTED BUT NO INTEREST FROM THE SNAKE. IF ANYONE COULD HELP I'LL REALLY APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.
 
You need to do three things...

  • Take the animals, find someone who knows how to care for them and give those animals to someone who knows at LEAST basic care information that you so very obviously are lacking an understanding of.
  • Go to the library, grab every book on herps that you can, use internet resources (Keep in mind that internet sources should be double checked for accuracy), join your local herp society, find someone who knows these animals and LEARN their basic care before ever... EVER buying another one.
 
Vaguely wondering what kind of python it is... if it's a burmese, saving tank space should be the last thing on your mind. You're now the proud owner of the world's third largest snake*. If it's a ball, you should have made sure you had room for both of them before you rescued it. Not that tough, really, unless you're living in a one room shack. Other than that, I also agree with Seamus.

I would like to add

basic math says that a 40gal and a 30gal added together equal less space than a 150gal ... or did I get my numbers wrong again?
