• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Went collecting for the first time

Went field collecting for the first time with George Ward the past couple of nights (Yes, the same George Ward who was recently banned from the site) around south Florida. For being somebody who hasn't been out in the field before I would definitely have to say that the numbers of animals collected ( we were collecting for several different orders he had from several buyers) were both impressive in number and the amount of time we finished in. Gie or take a couple anoles, I believe the count was 100+ bufo toads, 4-500 anoles (mix of green, brown and crested) 61 iguanas ( in a 2 1/2 hour shot down a canal), a couple of cuban tree frogs, some leopard frogs, 2 5-lined skinks, and a yellow ratsnake. Overall it was a fun experience and I think I might have a new weekend activity.

p.s. seeing somebody catch an iguan out of the air while standing in a small aluminum boat is definitely something you have to see for yourself.
