    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....

Anyone else come across this?

About 1/3 of the two clutches were solid bellied like this. The mother has a good portion of this solid belly pattern, the father nothing like it. The two prior seasons there were some partial but there weren't any solid belly patterns. Same parents, but this past season the partial to complete solid belly pattern is becoming more pronounced. Any ideas, input or similar instances?

I had several white bellies this year. I kept a few back to see what happens when I breed them together. I get more white bellies than black but I do get those too. Hopefully there will be some cool stuff associated with the lack of pattern on their bellies.

Until this year I had always had one or two that I noticed but this past breeding season I had a lot of them. It's pretty cool.
 
Like Wilomn, I have a white bellied one, from her chin to her vent. I guess the closest I'd have to solid brown, would be my albino snow, who's belly is still on the pink side, with no yellow or white breaking it up. Meaning if she was a normal, it would be a solid black/brown too. She's an albino "nitida" and is supposed to be on the melanistic side though. What's the rest of the snake look like?
