    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.

    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....

The textbook definition of Hypomelanism is lacking or experiencing a reduction in black and brown pigment. This would mean an increase in yellow and white pigment. I have attached a pic of my adult female alligator snapping turtle. I am taking offers on her until the end of the month. She is 18 inch scl and 40-45lbs. Trades considered for ball morphs/100% hets with paperwork. [email protected]

i would agree w/ ringneck, looks like a regular alligator snapper to me? the pic is kinda bad though, just looks covered in algae.

hypomelanistic?

Thats a beautiful turtle, but Ive seen several alligator snappers in that color. Its a slight natural deviation. I wouldnt consider it hypomelanistic. :eatpointe
 
Could you take a picture of her underside to be sure it was a female. What state are you in? I would be interested if a definite fem. Thank you!
