    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....

This guy was sold to me as a sonoran gopher snake het for applegate. I talked to the person I bought it from and that's how he was traded to them. :rolleyes: I believe he's a san diego gopher, but who knows.

And this is my supposedly sonoran striped albino gopher snake, Zith. As pink as she is, she's a bit hard to photograph and washed out by the flash on this picture.

What you have there in the first pic is definetely a San Diego gopher. Very pretty one at that! There is no Applegate sonoran gophers, out there, due to Bob Applegate discovering the San Diego morph himself.

The second pic looks like either a striped San Diego ( ) or a striped albino pacific.

You were not sold sonorans at all, IMO.

Take care!

Yeah, I did some investigating about that over the months I've owned them. I'm just concerned that the striped albino might be an mixed locality. She's a great snake regardless, but since her localities a bit suspect, I don't want to use her for a breeding project.
