    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....

well i cant get one of my babies to eat...

he wont eat live pinkies he wont eat f/t pinkies he wont eat either live or f/t fuzzies or rat pups... any other suggestions?
 
patience first off ,is a virtue they say, but i know it can be hectic for parent concerned for your little guy .
but if he doesnt eat for a while there is always repti-aid mix with a feeding syringe as a last resort
that will keep him going until he developes an appetite
or you could take him to a vet if yyour really concerned
hope this helps

Put the pinky into a brown paper sack and then place your boa in the sack. Fold the top off the sack several times so your guy can't get out and then put back into his caging. Come back in a few hours and check. Rarely, I will leave them in overnight but this usually always works. If nothing else, I take a very small pinky and assist feed until they are up on their own. No need to worry yet.

no this is the little guy i got a few weeks ago... the ones i just got (the big one ad the dehydrated one have already ate for me f/t even)
 
What are the temps at? How do you control and check them? I didn't see it mentioned, and a few degrees too low can make a difference with appetite.

The paper bag method mentioned works too.
