    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....

Hello my name is Carrina and I live in the evergreen state Washington. I have been keeping reptiles for about six years and I enjoy the process of building and maintaining bioactive enclosures, although I'm starting to move towards light weight pvc for my snakes. I have 4+ Toad Ranch products and a mixture of Exoterra glass and custom.

I am in the process of downsizing my collection, I bought a high quality snake rack and I'm starting to realize how much I don't enjoy it. Building vivariums is much more fulfilling for me so I'm thinking of selling it after it becomes vacant. I'm having to consider downsizing because my workload has increased over the last year.

I'm looking forward to hopefully being active here. I avoid most social media and it's been a bit isolating without people to talk about reptiles with, my offline friends are totally not into reptiles like I am, so hello!
 
I keep a variety of geckos, pythons/boas, and other arboreal lizards. I recently acquired a hognose but I'm learning that I don't really enjoy their attitude. The only colubrid I have is a Florida King and she's pretty timid.

Thanks for the reply!
