    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....

Sad day at our house...

We discovered that one of our corns, my son's favorite snake, died sometime today. His name was Fred and he was an amber corn. He was young! We purchased him in February.

I'm not really sure what happened. He was thriving. He ate well this week and nothing changed with his tank or temps. Everything was working properly.

The only sign of anything wrong is a dark blackish green looking spot about halfway down his body on his belly. :shrug01:

Little man is shedding quite a few tears tonight. :(

The spot on the belly is something that usually happens after a snake dies. It is caused by the gallbladder leaking or rupturing and staining the area with bile. It's likely not the cause of death, just something that happens afterward.
