Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The Welcome Room & New Member Intros How about a place for new members to come on in, make an introduction, and meet the regulars? Talk about yourself or anything else that comes to mind, just to break the ice. Or just pull up a chair and make yourself at home for a spell. |

Hey everyone I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Chris Hall and have been breeding balls for about 4 years now. I'm a hobbyist, but take great pride in my small collection of about 30. I love the species and all the potential of the different combos. I'm currently working on (fingers crossed) spider mystic potion, mystic potions, pastel calicos, pieds and a several other single gene animals. I've been a long time member of another forum and look forward to meeting some new people and hearing some new ideas. Chris

Great to know. It could have been confusing, to those not looking carefully.
Welcome Chris.

Welcome to the forum Chris. My favorite ball python is the pied. I have a male & female, maybe breed them when they are old enough. For now I just enjoy their gorgeous colors.
You do have some very good & beautiful morphs you are working with, good luck & post pics of your outcomes.

De'Andrea I love the pieds too. I don't actually have any in my collection yet. I have 1 on loan from a friend. I have a 1.1 pair of 100% het that laid 5 eggs last year, but 1 went bad. I hatched out 2.2 poss hets. It was so frustrating no pieds. I held back the girls and borrowed a pied to "up" my chances! I prefer codom animals so i don't have to worry about selling hets, but EVERYONE needs a pied! Good luck this season. Chris Hall

How long have you had this name? It's kind of confusing with MagickalMorphs unless one actually notices the spelling, as I mentioned before.
There have been a lot of, what I would call, "copycat" names popping up lately...some of them are so transparently trying to ride the coat-tails of another's reputation.

He says he's been using it longer, but darned if I could find hide nor hair of him when I did a detailed web search before settling on the name myself. All I found was some old KS posts I stumbled across accidentally, and he hadn't been active for a long time before that.
When I approached him not long ago about changing it, I was basically told to go fornicate myself. Another person using the name had no problems changing theirs, and I was happy to send them some stuff to make them feel good about it as well.
But, the name leads back here and to me, even under his spelling.
And, I own the .com's for that spelling of the name.
So how far could he possibly go with it? It just boggles my mind that someone can *know* someone else has established an online rep with a name on several forums, and still go ahead and use it like nothing's wrong. I will step in and disassociate myself with him at every chance I feel I need to, because he's not getting the benefit of my rep if I can help it, and I sure don't want his. If he's hoping I'll drop it, he hasn't done much research on me.

I totally understand from a logical and ethical perspective. I believe many of us would feel the same way after going through so much effort to ensure that our reputation was as unblemished as possible.
I am sure that if I accidentally had used DEBs like I did and later found out that another DEB had the name first, I would certainly have bowed out...the point of naming our business is to STAND OUT! Not be one of a crowd!
