    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....

I just bought a kenyan sand boa and right now i have it on aspen.I am looking to get him on something he can build better burrows with.I have heard of people using a sand/soil mix and also a sand/aspen mix,does anyone here keep these?I am getting conflicting info just searching some say certain subs will cause impaction some say otherwise.
 
They are called sand boas but from what i understand the name is a little misleading.From what i have heard they don't necessarily live in the sand like their name implies.Thanks for the link i didn't know that was here.
 
I used to keep mine on Aspen... worked the best for me, they tunnel in it nicely, and you can actually see them. another alternative is the crushed walnut shells you can get... looks like sand, but a little better in my opinion. I personally would stick with the Aspen...
