    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....

Tegu known fact, they build a nest.

Did you know that a Tegu is the only known lizard to build a nest? It is a true fact. They build a nest with their front feet. Working hard at pushing grass, and leaves together with their front feet. Not only a nest, but one with a two part nest chamber. The bottom layer is for incubating the eggs. The upper chamber is for the female to guard her nest. It is also said that they consume large amounts of water to mosten her clutch. The female will guard these eggs with her life.

that sounds very similar to crocs and gators . always nice to learn something new .
 
Thanks for the info, I always wondered why my female pushed all of the cypress to one side of the cage and why my male just kind of sat there and watched... she's not gravid or anything, but that's what she does, and at first I thought it was because she just wanted it deeper, so I poured about a foot and a half of substrate in there (probably more) and she still did the same thing... so that is probably the reason... nifty. :hehe:
