    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....

I have some questions about the Fader Gene. I was wondering everyone's opinion on it. I have heard many different things about them on whether or not its a seperate gene or is part of the pastel gene. Any thoughts or information would be helpful.

Thanks in advance
 
I'm curious too, bumping to see if any thoughts. My snakes occasionally lose or change colors as they shed, the fader sounds like an extreme version of this. Does it only occur in Pastels?
 
here is a thread discussing that very question http://www..net//showthread.php?38694-WTF-is-a-Fader&highlight=fader

general consensus seem to put it as a polygenetic trait. In other words it is not a single gene causing it, but multiple genes together causing it.

Same reason why we have bright yellow pastels and dull ones, The pastel gene is monogenetic, but the varying color is the polygenetic part.
