Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

orange "ghana" ball imports
about a month ago i went to my distibutor and he had just recieved a new shipment of ball babies. his employee let me go thru them before the owner did and i picked out several very bright orange babies. they looked completely different from the others, they dont have the white bellies of a pastel but are very unique looking. i have seen others selling these snakes as pastels for a lot of money to unsuspevting buyers. i know they are not pastels and probably nothing more than good looking normals but i am keeping 2 males and 3 females to see what they turn out to be. does anybody have any experience or comments on these "unique" snakes? thanks, tim

These "unique snakes" as you call them are normals - nice normals but normals. The so called orange will turn brown as the snake gets older - same happens with pastels. When I pick out babies to buy I don't look for orange - I look for light yellow. Just my .02

now i know the same thing does not happen to pastels as i have seen adult pastels that were just as light colored as babies. and i have seen more orange/copper colored adults as well that started out as very light babies. i dont know if they were from the same local as mine but they have a simialar color. i am not saying that these wont darken, they might but i am going to see what happens.

Light colored adult pastels were light (yellow) colored babies not orange. Baby pastels with a lot of orange DO fade to brown when they get older. Pastel are graded as far as appearance and so goes the price. Cheaper pastel - lesser quality in appearence. Higher in price - nicer appearance. Buy a real pastel with a lot of orange and see if it doesn't fade - it WILL. I'm not putting down your normals - they are nice but they are normal CH babies - a dime a dozen. Believe me as many times as CH babies trade hands before the are sold to Joe Public all the good stuff (pastels, ghost, ect. ect.) IS taken out and sold as such.

Maybe it is me, maybe it is the camera or the computer, or maybe it realy is the snake - I just do not see any orange at all.

I don't see the orange either - just yellow. Nice normals though. IMO I'd rather have light/high yellows over orange anyday. The orange ones will turn (brown) darker. Just my .02
