    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....

Rana no I don't want to join the club and scare members off. ;) I don't think Rich would like that too much.

And I do have great taste in furniture. :raspberry

If I had to post a pic of my mug then you should too! :)

Rana, you make short hair look good!

I am by far what you would expect from a herp lover.... I'm 26, but I'm tiny and look like maybe 16. It just looks funny when I carry my ig around

I attribute that "other good feature" as nothing other than cash. Or it might be I have good taste in furniture. Or it may have been the "I can tame the wild man syndrome" some women come up with. It is not any form of good looks, more like the lack of. ;)

You have furniture? Man, I hope one day to achieve that level of comfort in My life. LOL J/K
I agree though. POST A PIC!!! Just back up some pages and look at what I posted. If I can show My mug, certainly you can show yours. LOL Who cares what others think. Or at least a link to one of the "few that are floating around" . LOL

Great topic. I get told all the time I don't "look" like a reptile person, I don't look like someone's grandma either, but I am.

When I was a kid, people used to come to my parents house and freak out over the Burm I had. I had 3 older brothers, and they always assumed the Burm was theirs. My dad loved explaining that not only was the Burm mine, but so were the lizards, the king snake and the raccoon I rescued when it was a baby. My kids (I have 6 of them) have always lived with reptiles, but the one in my house that is the most avid and absolutely fearless is my 14 year old daughter. She says she wants to be a Herp Vet or a field herpetologist when she grows up.
My hubby, also an avid herper, always laughs because now people come over and it never fails, someone will comment that they can understand the lizards, but they don't understand why I LET HIM keep the snakes. My hubby is not a snake guy, but he understood that they were part of the deal when he met me.

that's a pretty dragon you got their. Nice coloration.

She's from Neverland Dragons, the same breeder as the dragon in my avatar. She's incredible and dog tame. I have some nice yellows in my collection, and a beautiful snow, but the reds are my absolute passion.
 
ladyserpent7 said:
snow?? dont think ive seen a snow before..it would be great if you could post a pic. of that..thanks....very lovely babies you have there.

Yeah, Me either. Ot Me too. which ever works best. LOL
I too would not mind seeing a snow dragon.

I too was brought up around reptiles, mostly snakes. My mom loved them and kept them for many years. That's who I get it from. When I was just a little guy, My mom had two big Western Diamondbacks. My dad is NOT a herp person, just tolerant. Sort of. I remember him "patrolling" the house in the mornings with is .45 auto looking for loose rattlesnakes. HA HA
