    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....

Hello, I've got a young female teanspecos copperhead WC that I got October 2014. I wintered her with all my other animals and as of this year she has eaten 1 fuzzy on 2/28/15 and a 1 fuzzy on 3/17/15. These are the only two meals she has taken since day I e had her. I washed the fuzzies and scented them with a wild rat. I try to feed her every week and she refuses to eat. The approach I have been using is tapping the rodent on her tail until she strikes it, then I get out of sight and don't disturb her. No noticeable weight loss. Any help appreciated! Thanks, Jeff
 
I have WC copperheads that are pretty spotty on eating too. Usually it lasts a season and they settle in and start to feed normally. As long as it is being offered food and water and there is no weight loss. She starts to show a little spine and then you need to attempt assist or force feeding.

I have found she is a lizard eater. She feeds on Mediterranean geckos
Refuses to eat anything else. She accepted one f/t pink scented with a gecko, but refuses them every time now. For me it's been easier to get coral snakes
onto pinkies than this snake. Thanks for your reply. Jeff
