    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 picked up this boa yesterday I was told it is a summit hypo jungle 100% het albino. But I have had people say that he is also pastel so if someone could put some input in on that. I have no clue on the genetics so if someone could give me some info on how good the genetics are and what he is worth? I traded a male pastel ball python for him. Is that a good trade?? Im posting up some pictures I just want some more info on his morph and value not that I got him just to sell him because I plan on keeping him as a pet possibly a breeder down the road.

If he is a Summit Line animal then yes, he is a pastel. He is a Hypo, I am not sure about the Jungle. Need better full body pics, close ups of the saddles, his head and tail. Even then, without knowing the exact breeding, may not be possible to tell.

As far as value, if you feel he was worth it, then he was. If you do not, then he was not. The monetary value of a snake is only what someone is willing to pay.

He's a good looking animal.
 
I don't see jungle either, BUT it is (definitely for me) harder to pick up on the jungle gene when mixed with hypo. Even if he's not jungle, I would say that you got a fantastic deal for a male pastel BP! (Last couple of pastel balls I produced, I practically gave them away.)
 
Did you really just bump a discussion thread??
(hint: If you want to bring the topic back up, do so by making a relevant post)
 
You already received a couple knowledgeable responses to your inquiry. I don't know what more you expected to happen. When you "bumped" your thread, you got a bit of a disbelief response followed by instructions on what you should have done to breathe life into your thread.

I don't see where you were disrespected. You'll find that on this forum, kid gloves aren't used as much as on others. It's part of why I like it so much at this place. People tend to call things as they lay.

How hard is it to make the bumping post relevant?

It isn't against the rules - never said it was - it's more of a breach of etiquette...an annoyance.
 
I have to agree with Harald on the etiquette factor. On another forum a year or so back, we had a member who bumped his threads every time he felt they did not get enough attention...and "enough attention" was frequently interpreted as no responses within 15 minutes. Clearly, this was far less off-putting (and much better-intentioned), but I agree there are more subtle ways to draw new attention to a thread.
