    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....

Hi everyone! Im very new to the whole breeding community and I'm barely starting out. I still have things I need o get such as a reptile rack and incubator, ect. I thought I post a thread asking for advice from fellow ball python enthusiasts if that is ok :3

I just purchased a male pinstripe and I want to get a few females. I thought about getting a pastel and spider females but I'm not sure if they would produce unique babies or not. Maybe I might consider exchanging the pastel for an enchi fire

I dont know there are just so so many morphs and the mixing is still pretty confusing XD any kind of help would be awesome! Thanks so much for your time and I hope to receive responses very soon! ^-^
 
Buy quality. That's the best advice I can offer. I would rather have an outstanding single gene animal than a low quality multigene animal.
 
Dang wasn't done...anyway, there is a genetic calculator on there. You can pick a female, pick a male and submit to see what you can produce from any given pair and what the odds are on each egg.

If you really love balls, you'll be on there all night.

Have fun. :)

This, buy once, cry once, especially for equipment because low-quality stuff will fail at the worst possible time.

As for the animals, low-quality morphs cost just as much to feed and maintain as high quality morphs.
