    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....

When do you start cycling your carpets?

The title says it all really. Just wondering when everyone starts cycling, or if you even cycle them at all? I'm going to start cycling mine in November, so not long to go! :thumbsup:
 
I usually end up planning on cooling them in mid November...and actually starting in early December - with introductions typically 3-4 weeks later. Copulation, when observed (some are shy), has been consistently early Jan through early Feb (speaking for my breedings only, of course).
 
I don't think it really matters when other than it is easier to do when the outside temps are getting cooler.. When I was in Texas I used to breed my Chondro's in the summer when the Air conditioner was going all the time to cool them... Randy
