    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....

It's pretty cool when our kids start to share in the things we are passionate about. I got my first reptile when I was 5 years old (garter snake). My Elementary School teachers used to call me Iguana Man because I brought my green iguana to school with me. Recently, my daughter is starting to get the reptile "bug". I got her a pair of leopard geckos and she is excited about trying to make baby geckos next year when they are a little older. Now I just need to figure out how to introduce her to breeding her geckos while hopefully postphoning the whole "Birds and the Bees" talk a little longer. Maybe I'll introduce the pair after she goes to bed and her geckos can have an "immaculate conception".:)

LoL @ "immaculate conception".
Wonderful that your daughter has caught the reptile bug.
Always great to have another young herp enthusiast.
BTW Beautiful Extreme Hypo Honduran and daughter.:)

Thanks! That's her favorite snake and probably the one I trust the most. Most of my Asian rats aren't very kid friendly. We are doing a Reptiles "Teach-In" presentation at her school in a couple weeks and I'll probably bring him along with a couple other snakes, a redfoot tortoise and her geckos. She said that half of her class is afraid of snakes so we'll have our work cut out for us :)
