    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.

    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 this a black D'Alberts python?

ask for a pic in natural light. a yellow light, on a white lip will make almost any of them look blacker then they actually are. but it does seem to be a black, and a nice one at that.

as for the price question, $350 on an "01 CB female" seems too good to be true. even as a golden phase, the price is FAR to low. but it it does pan out to be a real black, and he does want $350 for him/her, no matter what age its a good price. (even if LTC)
 
Still a nice snake, I wouldn't like to see anyone taken advantage of or anything, I did a google search, and sure looks like a white lip as everyone else has said.

I'm sorry I should restate my question, I was not clear. I was wondering if this was the rarer and much harder to find Black white lipped python as opposed to the more common Golden form. I think it is a black, and if the guy is telling the truth its a good find.
 
The date stamp on the photo suggests its from 2006. better lighting or not i would request a pic from this decade.
 
Well he told me he has had the snake since 01. I intend on seeing a recent picture of course, but he did tell me the pics were old. haha, I will proceed carefully.
 
If the next pic he sends has the snake on newspaper bedding, make sure it doesn't say "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" on the headlines!

Oh wow. I can't believe I missed that the first time. Hopefully the "time wasn't set." LOL

look at the actual time though. to the right of the /06 is "20 : 10" to me, it says he just set the date format wrong.

Thats the time not the date. 20:10 is military(24 hour) time for 8:10 p.m.

i know military time. but isnt it a bit weird that the time is set for 20:10? and i didnt think camera had a military time setting?:shrug01: anyway, new pics should be given.
 
I'm not concerned about the picture being old, he was up front about that. I'll get some more recent pictures. The guy wasn't even going to ship the snake, i had to tell him all about ship your reptiles. He said he got it at a Chicago reptile swap in 01, and it was marked a female. Hopefully new pics soon.
