    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....

seems dangerous to me. Seen it at my local herp store and like to know if anyone has used it or heard anything about it.
 
It depends what you are using it for. For a burrowing herp it is great, although a bit expensive as it is sold in fairly small quantities. Not dangerous if used properly.
 
It is used at the Naples Zoo in the gift shop exhibits. Seems to hold up pretty well. They did not only use that though, it was formed around some plastic pieces, just to make sure it held shape :)
 
I have 30 pounds here sitting in the bags that I never used.
30 pounds is not much at all. It would be enough for a 10 gallon or maybe a 20 gallon tank but not nearly enough for the 40 breeder I thought it was good for.
Very expensive to buy enough to use so it just sits here now.
 
I used some for a Leopard Gecko housing (10 gal tank). Molded, patted, followed directions, and later after it dried..found bugs crawling around in the tank.:ack2:

I removed the Gecko, and sprayed the tank liberally with PAM waited a couple days for it to dry and air out and then put the gecko back. Approximately a week later, bugs were back. I dumped the tank, got another and used tile, have not looked back.:thumbsup:
