    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....

Finally produced a Jolliff Snow Ball Python!!

Hello everyone,
After years of trying to produce a Snow I had started to lose hope. This season has been a fairly good one exept for the fact that I still had not produced a Snow. I cut my last clutch of eggs that had a chance for a Snow a few days ago. There were only 3 eggs in the clutch so I wasn't expecting much. When I cut them I seen 2 normal appearance balls and one extremely light colored Albino. I had been fooled before with the light colored Ablinos because the yellow always comes in later, and when they come out of the egg what do you know they are always normal Albinos.

Well, this time was different. Of course I seen the light color but I played it off as an Albino until.... When it came out of the egg I was so excited I couldnt believe my eyes could it be.

YES!!!!! My very first Snow! I have waited very patiently for this day and want to share my excitment with everyone. My patience finally paid off.

I was breeding a Double Het for Snow Male to a possible Double Het for Snow Female. So you know my chances were only 1 in 16 to get a Snow, and that was only if the female was actually a double het. Well she was!

Congrats Josh! Good things do come to those who wait (it's just some people end up waiting longer than others :D)
 
I'm glad one of your goals finally came to be. Congrats and a beautiful snake. Do you want a male or female? Do you know what it is?
 
Thanks everyone! My Wife thinks Im a little too excited about it :D By the way it is a little girl. Have some huge plans for the future with the Snows. Possibly going to breed her to my Fire and produce some Fires that are 100% Het for Albino and Axanthic I will just have to wait and see, there are to many possibilities.

There is now a video of the boob egg after it came out. It was 39g which isn't to small but hes definitely smaller than the others.

Come on up Cody, she is gorgeous!
 
Congrats! And I think the Fire idea is awesome, too. Has anyone produced an Axanthic Fire yet? Seems like maybe they wouldn't brown like some Axanthics I've seen...

Thanks, and unfortunately I have seen a Fire Axanthic on the web somewhere. I don't recall seeing any Albino Fires, I have no idea what that would look like. I am going to try and incorporate the snow into all kinds of morphs. It will be a long adventure but I think in the end it will really be worth it. I can think of a few morphs that would look killer. For example a spider snow, snow pin, or a snow pied, just to name a few. I am looking forward to really bringing the snows up to date with the rest of the morphs.
