    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....

Where's that mod?

Greetings everyone,

I must apologize for my absenteeism, but I have been incredibly busy with work, the breeding season and some recent Drymarchon and a couple other herp acquisitions, which even I am only beginning to believe has actually occurred. Anyhow, I now have the chore of getting up to date on the forum happenings, figuring out who’s been naughty and nice and getting to know all of the newbies which have entered the ranks of Dry keeper / enthusiast during my absence.
Anyhow, it’s great to be back and I look forward to getting caught up with everyone…

Best regards,

Jeff
 
Jeff,
It's about friggin TIME!!!

As for who's been naughty,...well,...you know me by now.

What aquisitions??? I gotta know!!!

Give me a call when you get a chance, so we can catch up. Or just say the word, and I'll jump in my truck, and hit the road with this pair of couperi Iv'e been saving forever for you. My schedule is wide open.

Welcome back!

I feel ya. I am busting my butt trying to get the herp room ready for my impending massive influx of acquisitions.
 
We can start a game guessing Jeff's new animals ;)

I would like to buy a vowel, Vanna ............
 
Thanks guys!

Well, I can honestly say I've missed you all, but not the mess I have seen on some of the posts!
C'mon guys, you, being Dry keepers, all tend to be the most dedicated, passionate and open minded group of herpers there are and it just chaps my hide to see everyone squabbling over things not directly pertaining to Dry husbandry here, as there are other forums on this site for such discussions. "Hell" certainly comes to mind, in regards to one particular thread!
Anyhow, I’m not ready to publicly air what exactly it is I acquired, but you guys will be the first to know, as any discussion of one group of animals I acquired certainly belongs on the Dry forum!
Tony, if I understood one of your posts correctly, you will be attending a show in St. Louis next month. I would like to meet up with you up there, as I have yet to attend one of the shows up there. I was hoping to be able to meet up with you this weekend, as my wife and I normally make an annual pilgrimage up to Fulton the week prior to Thanksgiving, to visit with her family, but she’s going on a cruise ion December and decided to forego the trip to Fulton this year . Also, sorry I didn’t call last night, but enclosure maintenance got in the way and I didn’t finish up until late, but I will cvall you this evening and we can iron out plans to meet up.
BW, you know I am envious of 2.1 of the influx you’re expecting, but I look forward to you “spilling the beans” on here!

Almost forgot.

My appologies for being so ornrey,....I have since begun to spend more time reading my Buddhist teachings. Probably a good idea. Of course now that the elections are over, t.v. and radio quality has improved dramatically! And that helps! As for Eric, I said I was a Buddhist, I never said I was a good one,...but I am learning.

Hey Jack,

Actually, most everyone who has posted to this thread knows what they are! I just haven't aired it on the forums as of yet.. ;0)
