    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....

It's been a while since we got a bunch of new pix. This being a 3 day weekend for many, those who are new, or who have new family to introduce, or who just want to post an additional pic, please feel welcome to post and let the Fauna family see the Real You!!!!
 
Ok, this pic is about 3-4 years old, but I still look like a goofball so it's close enough.

Well, there's going to be a new addition to Fauna. This is Barry Gene (after my husband) and he is 21 weeks old today. I have had no symptoms; I found out at my OB/GYN's office 2 weeks ago because I complained of a lump in my abdomen. I figured all the missed periods were due to old age...this is our first child. Surprise!

WOW!!! Surprise indeed!! That's so crazy! You should be due right around the same time as me...how cool is that? Lucky for you knowing you're going to have a boy!! Ours was busy doing yoga, so it's now a surprise.

Here's my limber baby - I didn't get quite as nice a picture.
We're thinking Cadance Marie for a girl (just picked that tonight)...who knows for a boy. LOL

Edit: My bad!! I should have looked at the date. You're a bit ahead of me. (5 weeks?) I bet you've got a little more than a lump in your belly by now.

This is more or less the position of the baby during the ultrasound....just curl up the arms to tuck under the chin, and cross the legs.

I will say when I first got into keeping snakes, I had a preconceived notion of what type of people they were. After joining my local herp society, that went right out the window. We have everything from tatoo'd bikers, to soccer moms to granny and gramps.
 
Okay after talking to Bobby on the phone tonight

I'll post a some pics but be warned I can be pretty scary..........the first one taken at NARBC 2005, is front row me, Dennis Hultman, James Wilson, the back row, Greg Riso and Wes. And about that calendar......I say lets have some fun and do it!! Can Harald be August, the hottest guy should have the hottest month. Ladies watcha think???????????

Thanks. My Mother-in-Law brought three kittens nursing from the bottle to my hotel room where I am working. I almost didn't let her in and I was sure that she left with them as well. I've been down that road too many times before. She's taking great care of them....... every two hours!
