    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....

Kevin,
I do not know if this is an honest mistake, or you are trying to pull something but you need to double check the photo you sent me.... let me know what's up.

Thanks,

Wow! The head on that thing must be 2 foot across then! :)

Griz
 
Even considering the angle it seems it might between a 3 and a 4 footer at best. It's not a baby though judging by the girth and head, more than likely an yearling in my opinion. Not an 8 footer for sure. It would be nice to ask for some sort of a size reference like a pop can by her side.

Regards.
 
Definitely not an 8 foot, the substrate gives it away along with the girth on that snake, for a female she would be quite skinny for 8 feet. Hopefully it was an honest mistake and sent the wrong picture.
 
If it's not just the wrong photo that got sent, seems like a kid who's trying to get you to ship first on a nonexistant trade. Hope that's not it!
 
I did email him about the possibility of attaching the wrong photo, I even returned the photo he sent me, I received no response.... I will take his silence as guilt..... :bolt01:
 
I want to knw where he gets that SUPERSIZED cypress...

And if he is feeding that thing goats...as big as it's head is...

Of course I am only being facetious...
