    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....

Bad Guy BEWARE.. Ballboutique (Rick Denmon) FALSE ADVERTISING!!

Damn, looks that way to me too, and not to rub salt in anyone's wound, but the snakes in the pictures look a bit dehydrated to me, espcially the first pictured snake. Not exactly ad worthy pictures if you ask me...I would have never caught that, since I do not even waste my time opening any of Rick's ads anymore.

Dave,

I think those babies just came out of the egg and have yet to shed since they look like that. Buuuuut I could be wrong and they could be dehydrated.

This is my baby, not out of the egg, maybe five minutes. Plump, and healthy looking.

I agree; can't put my finger on it exactly, but they just don't look right. The last one definitely is kinky :)

Maybe it's just the photos ... maybe not.
 
We got to thinking the same thing, right out of the egg, still with the baby "coating" on them...reguardless, not great pics for an ad, agreed?

Looks kinked to me, but who knows.

At the very least, I'd like to suggest a camera upgrade for old Ricky. I had this beauty in mind...

I hope you are fairly certain after starting a thread like this.
How does one tell the difference between coiled up and kinked?

I didn't start the thread. Time to put on those spectacles... :eek:

You sure didn't. Sorry for the mixup. :(

but I looked at the pix provided and I can't see anything that looks like a definitive kink. Does anyone have side by side pix to show the difference between a coil and a kink?
 
There are small kinks and large kinks. Ralph Davis has a kinked Caramel video where there is no hiding it no matter how the snake lays. Then there are small ones that are only identifiable by touching the snake.
 
Is there any way a coiled snake can sit wrong and be mistaken for a kink?
