    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....

Need help on proper identification

A friend of mine gave me two ball pythons yesterday claiming that the breeder who sold them told him that the Male was a Tiger (Enchi Desert) and a Female Desert. I'm not too familiar with this gene other than the fact that Females have issues breeding so i don't want to include the female in breeding projects at the risk of the snake's health. I was wondering if anyone can help me confirm the Desert gene or if they are normals.

First two pictures are the Female and last two are the Male.

I personally dont see any enchi in the male, mabe desert but hard to tell in pics. The female looks pretty normal to me but then again sometimes pics dont do morphs justice. Take them to your next local reptile show & ask a couple vendors what they think. Good luck.
