    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....

I need advice

Ok so I've recently acquired three ball pythons, two norms and 100% het for pied male. I keep them in 2 tanks, a 75 and a 29 gallon. I am trying to bring the humidity up in my tanks and was hoping to get advice on what works best for this. Also, I would like to breed pieds and am trying to decide between one 100% het female or two 66% het females, any opinions?
 
That depends on how much you want to produce a pied. Even a het x het breeding can result in no visuals; but 66%ers are a crap shoot. Do you mind raising 2 females to breed; knowing that you might have two normals, but may not know for sure until you have bred them a couple times. If you've got the time, space, and feeders available, 66% hets can be a cheap way in to a morph and a lot of fun (the anticipation is HUGE). Het pieds have come way down in price, and are practically cheap now...if you want to maximize your chances, it's worth going for.
 
Also for your humidity issue, spray your enclosure once in the morning and once in the evening and also keep a hand towel or something similar to cover up half of the screen on top. This should help keep it up
 
I would like to add you can use tupperware bins for them, They are cheap and hold humidity much better. Or what Mark said above will work also.
 
You can make them a hide with moss in it on the cool side so they can go in there when they need the humidity. That's what my vet recommended and she's a realllllllllly good herp vet.
 
And a 3 yr old thread comes right up to the top, lol...
Not a big deal, though - heck, maybe the OP has email notifications turned on, and she'll pay the site a visit (she hasn't been here in about a year).
 
No need to - you were just trying to be helpful, and I was playing around. There's no harm in using old threads most of the time (resurrecting one to argue with people that haven't used the site in years is kind of silly, and that happens at least as often as posts like yours).
