    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....

Hello everyone!

So this afternoon I had to run to the petstore to grab crickets for some of my reptiles and I saw a carpet python for sale. Now I am used to seeing Rainbow boas, ball pythons, red tail boas, sand boas, etc. All the pretty common stuff, but outside of the specialty reptile stores I have never seen a Carpet python for sale, and even then not one this small. I am going to attach a picture unfortunately its the only one I was able to take because the associate that allowed me to hold the snake wouldn't oblige me in taking a picture of it. I don't think its a jungle based on its patterning. The head is also kind of blunt more like a corn snakes in shape than a typical python head, which really throws me. It looks more Coastal from the pictures I've looked up. I really want to go back and buy this little guy/girl, but I need to know what species it is to properly setup an enclose for it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Side note: For whatever reason I have tried about 6 times to attach this picture in the correct orientation, but it won't, so I apologize.
