    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 took some pics of my Garter "Snape" ((or ribbon snake, Im not sure what he is yet)) and I thought these was just the coolest pics of him with his tongue flicking out. Enjoy!

His slender build and crisp pattern are making me think eastern ribbon snake, but I'm not very familair with the eastern species.

According to the Peterson guide to Reptiles and Amphibians Eastern ribbin snakes have an exceptionally long tail that is about 1/3rd of the total length of the snake. Their lateral stripes occupy the third and fourth scale rows. Eastern garters have shorter tails and their lateral stripes are confined to the second and third scale rows.

Hope this helps, and great pics!
