New herp site

Hi there! I'm 12 years old, and I am extremely fascinated by herps. Recently, I started a herp site. Any feedback/constructive critism would be very much appreciated. Please leave a comment!

Hi Josh, welcome to the world of herps. I just want to make a recommendation, and you may have done this already. Some sites don't like when people advertise their personal sites on their platform, without reaching out to a moderator. I've been burned in the past by doing something that I thought was just trying to help share content. On that note, I look forward to checking out your site.

We've already sorted that out here, thanks. He does have admin's permission to post this now, but not before I removed his post the first time, just following our TOS rules. ;)

Sorry for doing your job :)

:rofl:You're forgiven. :rofl:

Bump! I have some pics of my geckos on there, as well as a fence lizard care sheet I wrote.

The site is absolutely beautifully set out - looks real professional..

The site does kinda ‘present’ itself as a Bearded Dragon or lizard portal .. why not include them in the site name to entice Dragon owners / lizard lovers in ?

Then focus on what you know about primarily ... you can include a basic snake section in the menu somewhere ??

Ok thanks!

I just put new caresheets my site... I don't remember if I had put my fence lizard caresheet on when I first told you about it, but I also put a mealworm care/breeding guide on there, and a leopard gecko care guide. I even got an account with the amazon affiliates program, so I put "special links" to different supplies on the caresheets. Also, I got my site on google! You'd have to search through "approximately 319,000 results" before you'd get to it, but if you do a site search (search for site:herphusbandry.weebly.com) the homepage will be the one and only result. Of course, anyone who knows to do that knows to just search herphusbandry.weebly.com. https://ball-pythons.net/forums/imag...ABAAEAAAIBRAA7

According to my google analytics page, I've had 16 unique visits since august 30th (that day I had 7!). That's great since I haven't been doing much to advertise it or anything. Just word of mouth, mostly.

Anyway, please let me know what you think of my caresheets. Thanks!

There is a lot of knowledge on the internet: What could make your information more valuable is if it was strictly based on your unique personal experience. If you were interested in pursuing this method: I would recommend that you take photos of your efforts and pair them with your care sheets to both tell a story and teach at the same time. Show the reader what you are talking about from your own experience. If you do not have experience with something: you can still mention it, but, I would only do so as a comparison to your own successes/failures with that particular topic.

Anyhow, just a thought.

Also, the 'Herp Husbandry' tab on the top of the webpage does not function correctly in my version of Google Chrome (as of 02 Sep 21), the sub-folders disappear as soon as I click on it. I can still access them by clicking directly on 'Menu'. Just FYI. :)

Ok will do! So far the caresheets I've written have only been about species I have had experience with, and I was thinking I would put a disclaimer at the bottom of the page if I ever decide to write caresheets on anything else.

I'm sorry the tab didn't work for you, I'll look into that for you. What version of chrome were you using?

I saw your comment on the home page. Thanks!
