• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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 bought this as a mexican black king (nigrita). The speckling to me says there may be some splendida in there. I'm a bit stumped on this guy. What do you think? The belly is solid black.

Not all MBK's are solid black in the wild. They will look just like this. Since this is probably a captive bred, its impossible to say if its a MBK or may have some splendida influence. Some people consider them both the same.
 
Thanks. For a while there I thought possibly LG nigra, but towards nigrita. I bought it at PetSmart on black Friday (ironically enough) for $7 and it was just labelled Black Kingsnake. Very happy with this guy, tame, fast growing, and eats fantastic.
