    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....

Nice pastel or firefly?

So, I recently scored a firefly female from Jeremy and J&D Reptiles and put the video up on my YouTube channel along with a unboxing of my calider. Video can be seen here: (if the video is a little crappy on here, check out my channel at www.youtube.com/cartelreptiles)


Anyways, I also took some pictures because the lighting is pretty atrocious in my reptile room now that I'm getting ready to move and most of my stuff is packed. It looks marginally different to my other two pastels I compared it to with a cleaner pattern, cleaner colors, but the head threw me off. Anyways, the video of the comparison can be seen here: (again, if the video is crappy, just go to the channel for better quality)
*uploading, will be done in 6 minutes then edited in*

Also, here are some pictures of the snake in question.

Let me know what you folks think. It was supposedly confirmed by Kevin himself at NERD that it is in fact a firefly, but I don't want any surprises later one when she gets paired and produces as a single-gene female. Your input matters but like said, I do trust Jeremy. Just would like some peace of mind.

I'd say it's a Pastel, we all know there are variations of each combo though so at this point you'll find out when she breeds.
 
I don't think so by the way the alien heads darken up at the top. She looks like a pastel.

For sure a pastel. Here's a few of mine. There at 400-500 grams and the middle ones deep in shed and is still pretty bright.
