    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.

    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Well, I pretty much knew this would happen, lol. I decided not to get rid of my colubrids (living alone again, I'm not concerned about how far into the living space the collection crawls). As such, I just made plans to acquire a few more young adult bulls. I have been doing some looking to find information on the combo morphs, but really haven't found anything I am sure I trust (read: nonspecific and/or conflicting information). Does anybody know of a site that details the various bull morphs, including the recipe for creating them? Or, if somebody is willing/able to outline them for me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Also, how many females will the average male breed when the season rolls around - pretty much just wondering if I should get another male now, so he can be quarantined/brumated/ready to go in the spring. Do you rotate the male from female to female, or set up small breeding groups?


As of now, I have 0.2 normals, 1.0 hypo, 0.1 hypo 66% het amel (at least I think it was amel...I'll have to check the records to be sure. Het something or other, anyway, lol). I will be receiving 1.0 snow, 0.1 amel, and 0.1 something else. Gotta build a new rack just for these guys - will probably use the 74 qt sterilites (44"L x 19 3/4"W x 6 3/8"H) since bulls are pretty active. Of course, I could just break down and make some real cages again & give them a little more height (I think that size Sterilite offers enough floor space)

Im glad youre not getting rid of them Harald... i want to get more from you since the gal i got is seriously wonderful.

I REALLY want you to go with White sideds, since, of course id get another from you in a heartbeat. ^_- i hope more can help you on this topic, since youre certainly one id buy from again!

:p im just crazy, and have had a bit much to drink tonight. so ignore this post!!!!! LOL
 
LOL - I have seen a couple of white-sideds & decided that I like them. As a matter of fact, I almost bought one yesterday (I'll shoot you an email with THAT story). I really kind of need to figure out what makes what, though, before I make any more purchases. The White Plains show is coming up later this month and I took the weekend off (read: I can go shopping, lol), though I don't know how lucky I will be with finding what I am looking for...which is now different than I would have been looking for 2 weeks ago - I'm worse than a kid in a candy shop.
For a variety of reasons, I can see me keeping bulls over any other colubrids (just what I need, another sub-addiction).
I might not have white sideds available for you in 07, but I should definitely have some nice bulls in a variety of colors. Guess I will have to break down and take some more pics to whet your appetite (Kristi's & Jack's, too ;))
