    **************************************************
    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....

Well, it's a little slow right now for us field herpers, so I thought I would post a photo here and there to get us warmed up. Here's a Red Eft (the land phase of the red newt) found it while I was visiting my Dad last year in West Virginia. Didn't find any snakes just Newts and Toads. It was early in the year. Kinda small hope we can see it.

I was up in at University Park, PA for governors school last summer and was doing a forest survey when all of a sudden, there were red spotted efts everywhere. I probably saw about twenty of them and a spotted salamander. It was great. Nice pic.

thanks. I wasn't finding them, then one day I was searching the side of a mountain and they were everywhere. It was a cool day and very misty, didn't have to turn anything they were just walking all over the ground cover.
