    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....

Just wondering what others use and recommend. I'm still undecided on what I will use for the future. Right now I am using news paper but I'm considering tile.

I dunno....
 
Right now I'm using sand but I have also thought of switching over to tile. I will probably start to switch them over as I see they need a complete change of sand. If you go with tile make sure you adjust your lighting. I was lazy and bought some tile for basking spots for a couple of them instead of looking for rocks and it seems to get alot hotter.
 
No fair Mike... we use multiple things here and you only allowed for 1 option!

Sand, carpet, cell-sorb, shelf liner and bare bottom.
 
Didn't even think about a multiple option.........

Time to go tar and feather myself. :hehe:
 
I used paper towel in my dragons enclosure. I just recently changed my girls to tile but they are over 12 inches now. The male is still on paper towel.
 
Tile, shelf liner, paper towel, carpet, sand, dirt for females, lots of brick, i pretty much have one tank of everything! lol.
 
I have 1 cage with sand and 1 with tile. I like the tile, but my beardie likes the sand. ;)
