    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....

snakes

not totally certain...but

I believe that these are rear-fanged, mildly venomous like North American species such as garters, ribbons, water snakes and hog-nosed. If you're allergic to bee stings and such then seek ER treatment. Otherwise, if no problems arise, then treat like a basic colubrid bite and wash with antibiotic soap, dry and bandage if needed. Anyone, please correct me if I'm off track.

Wow, now I've heard that the "Hognose" are "rear-fanged" & mildly venemous but I didn't know that water snakes, ribbons, & garters fell into that category, that's some info I honestly didn't know, it makes sense though if you've ever seen a garter eat, frogs & fish for example tend to act calmly after a few minutes of being grabbed by a garter, thanx for the info, I really didn't know that!

A friend of mine here locally had one. I would watch it eat and observe that the fangs are actually under the eyes. They are positions in a area where a fast bite could and will give out venom and pain. When he eats, he bites the rat pup and then leaves with out the rat. The rat will DIE in about 5 minutes from the venom. Yeah it may be a baby rat but 5 minutes is still kinda fast. There venom is very under estimated and can cause alot of swelling and pain.
