    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....

First snake!

This is my first post on here and my first ball python. She is a 450g Pastave and is lookin real nice! I hope this hobby doesn't get too addicting :D. Fed her a rat earlier this morning and she took it down with no problem. Here are a couple pics of her, hope you enjoy!

Yeah,.... good luck with that!

I got my first ball 11 months ago. As of two days ago, I am up to 6! Yes, thats right, 6.

It IS addicting. You start with one, then "ooooh look at all those pretty morphs!"
Followed by... "
ooooh if we get this and that, then we can breed them and make _____."


It IS addicting, but oh so much fun! I love my balls!

not quite, he has just invested pretty much everything he has into it. I can honestly say that this guy has put his heart into it, and with any luck, he will make it somewhere. he already has some pretty top notch stuff going on. he deserves it though for all of the work he has put into it.
 
Welcome.. I started a couple years ago, then bought a house and just had too much going outside with the acreage, so sold them. Now the land is caught up and I started back in Dec. 11' with a pied and super black pastel for panda pied project. Now I have a total of 15!! Oh and ultramel het's too!!
 
Very nice girl, I agree with everyone they are highly addictive. Got my first one about 2 years ago and I'm up to 21, with 22 on its way should get it Tuesday. Had to build a snake room. Good luck they are awsome animals.
 
congrats on the new snake, she is very pretty and a good choice. Just hang around here learning, decide what direction you want to go, and your smart buying females for now.
 
Got my second snake already lol she is a female Butter 239g and is looking gorgeous! I'll take some more pictures tonight if I remember

Love the dark back on that butter, but I'm a sucker for butters. Nice start you have there, next thing you know you will need a snake room too!
 
VERY ADDICTING! Nice looking snake, but, I betcha you will be investing in others in no time. :) Ive been doing this for a really long time and only have about 60 snakes, but, considering that its been about 6 years or so, thats about 10 snakes a year. :) Quite a bad hobby indeed.
