    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....

Is my Coastal really a coastal?

Here is 2 pics of my carpet. It was sold to me for only $75 as a coastal, but after seeing not many coastals on here and seeing how close they compare to other carpets i figured id get your opinions and double check she is a coastal. Either way she still a beauty, very tame,and awesome.

The various carpets have been mixed and matched quite a bit over the years; and I rarely come out and say YES or NO in these situations (because I don't feel identification should be based on what somebody thinks it looks like...which is too often how it happens). Here's the problem - some people would breed a pure coastal with a nice looking variegata (or a not so nice looking jungle, lol), and call the babies coastals.
For me, if the lines can't be verified, I am pretty hard pressed to consider any carpet pure anything.
