    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....

Here are most of this year's pickups and a few of my hold-backs as well. These are going to add some fire power on next year breeding projects. I'm very excited to get some of these projects started.

First are the acquisitions:

Starting with my only Tinley Pickup - Male Lesser Enchi from Chad Leever

Man, those are all such sweet animals. I gotta say though, I'm partial to the sable. :D
 
Diego that lemon is hot. You produce anymore of those I want one lol. Can never get enough quality base morphs. Also anything with black pastel looks sooo cool, especially hypo. Great pickups!
 
WOW! That's about all I can say, gorgeous pick-ups and holdbacks! I'm having trouble picking a favorite... they're all too nice! :thumbsup:
 
That black pastel hypo is smoking hot! And that black magic is gonna throw some awesome babies down the road. Great pickups/holdbacks!
 
Awesome looking snakes Diego!
I'm with Michael, that is one smokin pastel.
Quality pastels have become possibly one of the hardest to find single gene snakes these days.
 
Thanks everyone! I'm very excited to get some of this projects going. Specially the hypo stuff since I produced a few hets this year and I have a pos. het to prove out as well.

Yes she is, thanks! I cant believe I almost sold her. Her mom is taking this season off. She laid for me the last two years so I figured she deserves a break. :yesnod:
 
Absolutely gorgeous pickups! Wowzers!

I may have to get a Lemon Pastel from you in the future. That's one of the best Pastels I've ever seen!
