    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....

Ball python?

My friend is considering buying a ball who the owner says is gravid and she looks it too!!
Now is this possible as the breeding season is nov-April or is it just because shes in captivity and u can breed any time u want.
any information would be helpful thanks.
 
Patrick,

Maybe this is more for the discussion forum but any ways. Although not the norm, it is possible. This can be done with animals where their photoperiod/temperature for brumation are artificially manipulated indoors (including the need for air conditioning). You can also tell from a picture depending on how advanced her pregnancy is. The angle from where you take that picture is critical to tell apart a pregnant from just a "fat" female. If you find it useful I can send you pictures of one of my last year pregnant females.

Regards,

Daniel
