    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....

Monitor Boy, fishy pics???

Here's a 18mo retic that's been posted for sale. The second picture down is supposed to be the same animal as a baby. Is it just me or does that baby cover a hell of alot of newspaper?

William....

There MIGHT be a very reasonable answer to that.... the photo that's posted as the 18 month old, looks a lot better than the second photo of the "baby".... He probably just uploaded the wrong picture for the baby and he doesn't even know it yet.... Obviously, the second picture is the same size as the first, of the same snake??....At this point, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and just think of it as an unknown (as of yet) mistake that will be fixed when found??....

I replied to the photo he sent saying I think he sent me the wrong photo by mistake and asked for him to double check and send the right ones if he had them...............his reply was basically piss off, I'm not selling it to you.
 
?????????????????????

Well, I dont understand..
The pics are definately of the same snake.. Look at the pattern that starts where the *head stripe* ends..
Identical..
Whats the problem???
 
I know for a fact the top pic and the bottom pic are the exact same animal......I'm not disputing that.

That "baby" (bottom) pic was NOT taken when that animal was a juvenile, the animal is laying on full sized newspaper and anyone with a photo program can blow it up and clearly read the weather report, the sales ad and local news articles. The animal loosely coiled covers the ENTIRE page.

Simply put- The photos were supposed to have been taken well over a year apart...one as a baby and one as an adult. I was sent the wrong photo and when I questioned it as he had simply "made a mistake" and sent the wrong one he blew up and denied that both photos were taken within a VERY close time frame of one another.

I never was out to slam the guy, hell I still want the animals...I simply expected one of two things-a pic of the animal as a baby OR tell me he doesn't have any. But to insult my intelligence and send me two photos as an adult and try passing one off as a baby pic is a quick way to lose a sale and to tarnish your reputation.
