    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....

Thought I'd share pics of the latest addition to my snake room. I doubt I'll be keeping it, as I'm not a huge venomous fan. A local guy caught it, and he's been asking me about the poss het albino ball pythons i hatched this summer. He asked for one in trade for this little sucker, and seeing as I was pretty much giving away the bp's I said sure. I'm sure I'll let this little guy go in a few days, but not before admiring him first and snapping a few shots!

This one definitely seems to. It's very active too. I've got him in a 20 gallon tall aquarium for now, with a uth and some driftwood. Put a hide box on each end, one on the warm and one on the cool. It barely uses the hide box, and definitely doesn't hang out on the warm end. Spends most of it's time doing what appears to be looking for a way out. lol

The guy who caught does a/c repair work, and says he comes across them once in awhile along with other non-venomous snakes, usually around or under the a/c units. Definitely a need find, but we live too far out in the woods, and no medical insurance, so I'm not gonna take chances with keeping hots. But, I'm overly careful with this little guy (i.e. leaving him in his tank, welding gloves to move anything in there, and only when he's hiding out).
 
by warm I meant above 60 degrees. but I haven't been looking in the right places. I generally just walk around. there are lots of dead and rotting logs I am going to start exploring more thoroughly. later!!!
 
he's definitely a cute little bugger. and still active as heck. i'm half tempted to keep him, but i don't have anything to feed the darn thing, and prolly too cold to find any kind of colubrids around here. rats!
