    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....

What is your weirdest ball python related dream?

I know it can't be just me that dreams about snakes. And sometimes I wonder, you know, all those silly dream interpretation books that say snakes mean this or that, I think for us those books and that definition of snakes in dreams is totally bogus..!

I figured I would ask this question because I've had a few dreams, but last night I had one that cracked me up! Yesterday, in the real world, I went to the flea market here in town so I guess that's what inspired me.

So in my dream, I go to this flea market and there is a screen enclosed store with snakes loose all over it. I'm watching it, and then I look down at my shoe and there is a pastel axanthic ball python there, just loose in the aisle. I pick it up and put it in my pocket? (Bad girl!)..

So I'm running around and I see this drop dead gorgeous clown baby ball inside this screen enclosure and the seller has various other snakes and morphs so I run around to the front and I ask the guy "How much are you asking for your clown ball python?" He says "My what?" He had no idea what he had..So I say "I'll give you $100 for that one over there in the corner!" and he says "Okay!" so the rest of my dream entails me running around trying to find an ATM machine to get $100..LOL...Crazy! My clown-lust and pastel-axanthic lust is apparently rearing it's head in my dreams now.

Now in reality, I would NEVER buy an animal from a flea market, which also makes me laugh, but what are the odds of running into that at a flea market? Our brains are so crazy!

What dreams have you guys had about balls? ^_^
 
All dreams involving my animals were nightmares. x_x Either I forgot I had an animal and I found it starving to death (which would never happen, but you know how dreams are), or the electricity went out and horrible things happen.

Of course, going to college for an advanced degree is enough to drive anyone to nightmares!
 
I have this recurring nightmare that I walk into the snake room and my ball pythons have killed all the other species I keep.
My phone rings and I learn the same thing has happened in a friend's collection.

I turn to the internet and find the same story being repeated in collections all over the country. Ball pythons destroying any other reptile species their owners happen to keep. The balls, in a quest for total domination, systematically move from cage to cage and drawer to drawer killing all but their own species.

Wholesalers and dealers have their entire inventory destroyed, leaving nothing to sell but more ball pythons.
Breeders left with nothing to breed but ball pythons.
International shipments from all over the world are opened only to discover crate after crate of nothing but more ball pythons.

Then I am watching the news. Small bands of ball pythons are roaming the countryside, seeking out and killing any herpers who do not have balls in their snake rooms. Eliminating the possibility of any reptile species other than themselves to occupy a place in a captive collection.

Then I wake up, shaking and wet with a cold sweat. Relief slowly creeps over me as I realize it was only a dream. A relief which is quickly displaced by the realization that my dream was merely a symbolic representation of reality......

OMG! I have had one very similar to this. It's so scary to even dream about!

Speaking of college, when I was in college, and even now sometimes that I am done, I used to have constant nightmares about failing a class that I had thought I "dropped"...So in my dream I think I've dropped it so I never went and then I end up failing..LoL! I had this dream over and over and over..it was awful!
 
The other night, I had a dream that I found an escaped albino....albino red tail python! (I think I laughed at one too many Craigs List ads!!) Anyway, I looked down and saw it on the floor and reached down to pick it up, but then it struck at me and tried to slither up my pants leg.....I remember it getting away and my struggle to capture it, but I've waited much too long to remember any other details.

Last night, however, I had a "doozy" of a weird dream. I only remember short clips now, but I was sick last night and finally woke up after the same thing kept playing over and over and over.....

I am working on producing some multiple recessive gene animals (in real life). In my dream, I had sent off my eggs to ????? where ever--you know....like you do when your ball python lays its eggs?? LOL

When they came back to me, in SEVERAL dump truck loads, all the eggs were shiny...I think silver. They may have even been "Leggs" eggs (pantyhose...do they make those anymore??). But that wasn't the "nightmare" part. The bad part was that whomever I had sent my eggs to didn't do something right, and none of my "multiple" hets were 100%. I was stuck with HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of eggs that would do me no good. I'm thinking that I should stay off the BOI for awhile!!!!!

No real dreams but sumtimes I may close my eyes for a while and see punnet square after punnet square and diffrent "morphs" that well there are none of. Almost like I'm seeing morphs before they are even available or created...
 
I keep having this awesome dream--I walk outside to my backyard and there are ball pythons EVERYWHERE!
Every morph imaginable is slithering on the ground, and it's summer time. I run outside and start picking them up, tons of them in my arms, and just when I start to think, "Oh crap, where am I going to PUT THEM ALL?" I wake up. :(
A couple of times I was so confused I thought it was real, and I almost cried when I realized it wasn't raining ball pythons. :(
 
I dreamt this weekend that my BRB took a #2 and I had to clean it up and update my logs. I kept waking up thinking I had to log this because I'm always forgeting to log poo from getting side tracked by cleaning it up. I was on the brink of waking/sleeping so when I was more towards waking I knew I didn't have to log it because it was a dream, but as soon as I drifted off, I started freaking because I thought it had to be cleaned and logged, which caused me to wake again. I'm so OC about cleaning my enclosures that it haunts me :ack2:

I hate those dreams! They seem so real when I create this new morph never seen or I produce something crazy, then I get all excited and wake up :(
