    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....

Snake room...finally!

For the first time I actually have a spare room for my snakes.
I moved(yet again) closer to the shore at the end of June and just finally finished unpacking & putting everthing away(i.e. thrown in the closets).
The first one is Dash guarding the newborns...waiting for me to turn my back so he can try to 'play' with them.

Thanks!
It's not like I actually built anything myself though...if it can't be built with a hacksaw, a screwdriver and a hammer, I dont do it. My talents lie elsewhere...
It's just Visions racks & Herpstats.
The baby racks are from PMHerps.
 
Great beginning! Gorgeous cat!! (almost ran and brought one..but it's doubtful that Bam-Bam, my quaker parrot, would be appreciative).

It's going to be a trial keeping the carpet clean with SaniChips (been there, done that). Are you going to tear up the carpet and put down hardwood?
 
Nice!

Very nice snake room, and amazing bengal! What color variety of bengal is that? I did just a touch of browsing and I found marbles, silver, snow...

He's a silver spotted bengal...and a pain in the butt.
He's taken several babies out of their tubs already...I swear, the moment I turn my head, Bam!, he's taking one out to play with.
He hasn't hurt one yet, but it scares the crap out of me, especially since he's fond of the most pricey ones!

I've heard Bengals are more troublesome than normal house cats...is that the case, or is he just an exception?

I wouldn't think that's the case, they're definitely more intelligent/aware of what's going on around them...almost dog-like. Mine would play fetch 8 hours a day if I would let him.
 
i agree lol very nice room set up but the cat is beautiful. send the cat my way lmao.

You're right!
I'm finding that once I vacuum, the carpet needs to be vacuumed again almost immediately...how come the wood floors in my old place were usually clean?

OOOO OOOOO!!!! I know the answer to this one!!!!
Its because when you walked around in your socks, the stray sani chips would stick to them. Now that you've got carpeting, the static draw of your socks isn't enough to free the chips from the grip of the carpet fibers. :yesnod:
