    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 have a 3.5 inch Sulcata that is having trouble with its eye. It looks like it is swollen. I have had it 2 days and was told soaking will fix the problem, though it is slightly open, it is still not back to normal. I soak him 2 or 3 times daily for 10 to 25 minutes in warm water. Other than the eye, he is active, eats like a pig and uses the bathroom at least once a day. Any ideas on what is going on?

Hi Kristen. Yes, soaking will do him/her good. Also, lots of heat. As long as your animal is eating, drinking, and active you will be okay. There are eye drops you can purchase for her. If you notice the animal stops eating or drinking, take him/her immediately to the Vet.

Best Regards, Joe...
