    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....

Finally snake odds in my favor--SNOW CONDA!

I bred my albino anaconda 66% het snow to my axanthic 50% snow female. I had 5 of 9 eggs go bad but this just popped out this morning! Dunno if it's a male or female yet.

Congratulations! It really stinks when you lose eggs but when you hit the odds, it kinda makes up for it. I'm hoping for one of those myself this year.

Thank you!!!!

I screwed up and kept the eggs at room temp. They took almost 80 days to hatch and over half went bad in the last few days. I wanted plump hatchlings so I thought I'd try the lower incubation temps. Never again!
 
The snow is a male!

So far I have a male anaconda dh snow that is out of the egg as well as the snow. There's an albino anaconda and a normal possible anaconda still in their eggs.

Here is my new little buddy in his new home.

Looks like I got 4 anacondas -- one snow, one albino het snow and two normal anacondas het snow.

The albino is hard to visually sex. Could be a male or female. The snow and the double hets are males.

Argh. Even though the two male normals have solid black bellies they may not be anacondas. Oh well.
 
I would say neither of those are anaconda. An anaconda will have a pretty clean break between belly and dorsal patterns. Typically they have a white band to break the two up, like my male pictured below. Is the albino an anaconda?

Thanks Jason!

Here's the female---my friend can't tell if male or female---calls it a "tweener".

It has a pretty clean belly, can you get a picture of where the sides and back meet. Snows are tough for me to tell but given the back pattern and belly pattern, I would say yes.

I'll get a pic posted. I really appreciate your help!
 
Here is a picture of my snow, which is not a conda.
