    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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!!

as of right now, the wording was only changed to include "one animal is not for sale" No mention of a kinked animal. I have it screenshotted if you wish to say otherwise rick. Change the wording to the truth rick.

Do the siblings carry the trait?

Quite possibly. Supposedly there is a line of Caramels that people claim doesn't produce kinked babies. Not sure how accurate it is. With Caramels kinking can seemingly pop up anywhere. This will be my first season producing Caramels. Hopefully no kinked babies but if they are I will do the right thing.

What a scumbag. Rick, you have changed the ad twice. Once to remove the picture and now once to say 1 isn't for sale. Yet you leave the false statement there. Anything to make a buck...

Jamie, If he doesnt fix it properly I'll just make a new boi post for each wrongfull fix of the ad he makes. That will be a ton of bad guy posts here about Rick. :rolleyes:
 
Kinks or no Kinks.... I still wouldn't buy any of those Carmels Pictured off anyone for any price. To me they just don't look healthly at all in my honest opinion. Though I don't think it is all camera quailty to blame... Maybe it is??? If so I would atleast take the photos down till a got a better camera. Or could learn to take better photos. They aren't helping Ricks claims one bit of the kind of snakes he is claiming to be selling here in my opinion.

So Alicia, are you saying that line of Ball's are prone to kinking?

To clear it up, Caramels as a Ball Python morph are prone to spinal kinks. The line that Rick produced his from is obviously proven to produce kinked animals. Alicia just used the wrong term but I think everyone got the gist.

Then i did :) In my haste, i made a mistake.

But see, i can admit my mistakes quite easilly. And have no qualms in doing so.
Thank you Jamie.
 
Thanks Alicia and Jamie, that clears that up.
I have always thought kinking in neonates was a result of unstable or fluxuating temps.
Again, thanks.

I am admittedly not a fan of Rick's since his MK involvement was made public. It looks to me like he rushed to take pictures of snakes just out of the egg, and in no condition to have pictures taken of them...especially not for ads. The snakes look horrible, look dehydrated, although it might just be the baby coating on them making their skin look folded over and odd. It looks like he is rushing to take pics, and post ads, to make a quick sale before they had shed. I wonder if Rick actually hatched these, because I find it almost impossible to believe that if he did hatch them, he would not have seen the kink. And like Jas said, if he did hold the snake long enough to sex it, how could he have missed the kink?

Some people are in it just for the money, and IT shows, and some like the animals, and IT shows, and the money follows....

I think that is fairly obvious. No need to rub people's noses in it.

John, I think people will see this thread for what it is, without any coaching.
 
Dude, you have not seen rubbing someone's nose in it, and you probably won't see it. If it got to that point, I would email him...

We all make mistakes, but his explaination of what happened, rings untrue, or partially true at best.
