    **************************************************
    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....

Childrens or spotteds?

John got my response in chat, a minute or two after he posted...I'd hate to think that nobody else out there had an opinion, lol. Has this forum been taken over by the lurkers? Have participants been abducted, or forced into silence?
This is one of the simplest types of questions, in that it allows for a one word response ('childrens' or 'spotted').
 
I know the snakes are here. But I say Childrens too. That is what they were traded to us as also.
 
I mentioned in the chat... I like the genus but I'm not anywhere near good enough to throw out visual identification of weird looking individuals. Keep anthill pythons (Stimson's) in mind though too- same genus, similar appearance, little browner and darker...
 
Ohyeah... scale counts. if you can't find the numbers yourself... I'm in Colorado at the moment but will be back in Massachussetts very early tomorrow morning. I know I have them written down someplace.

That should read anthills OR stimsons...
 
I can't believe I am about to say this....but I am with Seamus....I know nothing about these little guys so I couldnt even venture a guess visually. I never got into any of the Childrens/Stimpsons/Spotted/Anthills ect. Kid of cool looking guy you got there though, for what its worth. Dan M.
