• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Bug's going through it's first shed and has some skin stuck to the head....it's been there for a couple of days. I'm not sure if I should intervene with a soak or peroxide, or if I should leave it to Bug to take care of. It's still not too sure of me and I don't want to freak it out or drop it...I can touch Bug on the back without it screeching, but I haven't tried picking it up yet.

I don't know if this helps, but Bug eats 4 mealies a day, drinks water, wanders at night, is pooping and peeing and spends time in the moist hide.
 
You need to put him in a dish of water and take a Qtip and gently rub off the dead skin. He's not going to like it much but you can't leave that dead skin on there. If you have someone that can help you it would be easier. And just do a little at a time and then put him back in the tank for awhile. The skin will usually come off pretty easy.
 
Ohh and make sure you don't grab his tail while your holding him. The best way I have found to hold them is around the rib cage or stomach. Just be gentle but firm.
