    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....

Well, Mr. Pig boy, Sam chomped on four mice today. He is finally starting to fill out that skinny little body of his. He still aint fat, but he was underweight IMO back in November when I got Him. He is 302 grams and 32" long, (last week) and letting his true colors show through..................

Cant wait till he is old enough to make My sunglow/coral sunglow. I am feeling better and better about over paying for Him.

Enjoy,
Rick
 
Rick,
He's a handsome one. I would love to see a close-up picture of that left eye. I love the way the scale pattern appears to extend his eye downwards.

He's a beauty.
 
Richard's pictures are ALWAYS spectacular. You should see his photo album.
GORGEOUS snake.
 
Thanks Guys. Me likes a lot too. If he keeps getting better with every shed the way He has been, I can't imagine how He will look around age 4 or 5. :D

Mike, I am using a cheap set up actually. I paid like $350 It's a Konica/Minolta DiMage Z1. My first digital cam. :D It's not bad though. Has 10x optical zoom + 4x digital zoom.
I have had better macro lenses for My SLR's, but it does well at about 9-10 cm. To be honest, I have barely taken the thing out of Auto mode. All these pics are pretty much point and shoot.
Indoor low light, no good. Camera adjusts the color levels too much, so bright light is a must for good ones.


Thanks again for the nice replies. When I get My Nikon D70 (hopefully before 2010) than I can get more serious. Always did like photography. Very relaxing.


Rick
