    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....

After a storm hit Dallas Texas yesterday at least 150,000 people are without power. It’s feeding day for my yearling rosy boa and her enclosure is about 76°. We may not have power again today and I’m wondering if I should go ahead and feed her. I usually turn up her belly temp to 92 after she eats but it looks like her enclosure will remain about 76° or higher for the next 24 hours at least until we get power. I’ve already thawed and warmed her mouse Or I’d just wait to feed her until tomorrow. This is my first snake (had her one month) and I’m new to the forum. I’d appreciate any advice. Thank you!
 
It's better to wait. Snakes can go a long time without eating without any ill effect, but feeding at low temps, you risk a regurge, which can be seriously harmful.
 
Thanks for the reply. I threw away the warmed mouse in hopes that we will have power tomorrow. ��
 
Elena is quite correct. Your yearling snake can go two or three months without eating, with no ill effects at all. Adult rosies can, and do voluntarily, go off food for even longer during breeding season.
