    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Pied or not?

I received an email in response to an ad asking if I wanted to buy or trade for a pied ball. The person had it priced at 1200 or any trade that equals that amount. So I asked for pics and here they are
I've never seen a pied like this one. I think the pics were photoshopped.

Any thoughts?
 
I should ad that the person is local to me and is willing to meet me in person (with the snake) if we want to make the trade.

Thats all i wanted to hear

Guarantee it.

It might be het. but its just a ringer.

If you are ok with that, that is your choice. But its not a "pied".
Thanks I knew there was no way a pied could look that normal. Now if it look like the one on the link you attached I would trade on a heart beat.
 
yup. a nice ringer for sure, but a ringer no less..

you can get a real pied, high white in some cases for that 1200$

but good job on asking before hand!!!
 
It is a ringer, could be a Het Pied, but is not a Pied. Eric Sandoval produced one like that a few years back, you might want to email him and see if it is the same snake. His was a Het if I am not mistaken.

Here is my low white Pied, note the amount of white does not mean it is, or is not a Pied, but the pattern is a dead give away.

Thanks David. All I know if that the guy who emailed me said that he also got it from a trade from _______ (I dont want to include names/web site because I dont want to turn it into a BOI thread, PM me if u would like to know). The guy/people who trade it to him told him that it was indeed a pied. I already told him I wasn't interested on his ringer so I wont be emailing any one. I'll just save up for a real low white pied and get it at this year's Tinley Park show. Thanks again
 
definately a ringer as others have said. Pied is both a colour AND pattern mutation. That's a very erxtreme exampler of a ringer. Worth every penny IMO but not if it's not what you're after. If the seller would export, i'd have that.
 
ringers definately don't have to be het pied. they pop up slightly more commonly in pied/het pied etcd breedings but pop up randomly elsewhere too.
