    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....

Hi all! I'm Aryeh (call me Ari) Miller from Chevy Chase, Maryland. I'm junior in high school and a aspiring herpetologist. I'm 17 and I recently finished a documentary I worked on for all of Sophmore year. This documentary is about a small wetland about a quarter mile from me that contains a large amount of herpetological diversity. I felt that my community didn't care for this place, as it is very hidden (which is a good thing), but the area I live in is under constant threat and I wanted this wetland to have something to back it up when discussion comes in to clear it out for apartments or that kind of things. I just finished so I thought this would be a good place to get it out. Take a look and tell me what you think!

Very well put together. I don't know how you got all of the footage of the tree frogs, it could not have been easy.
 
Welcome to Fauna Ari! That's some nice footage you've recorded there, thanks for sharing with us!
I thought it was beautiful no matter what time of year, and it's wonderful that you're spreading awareness on the herps in your area! All wildlife needs an advocate, but our cold-blooded friends are too often overlooked.

I'm wishing you the best of luck in pursuing your dream~ :thumbsup:
 
Welcome Ari. It must have taken a lot of time to put all that together. Awesome job and thanks for sharing.
