    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....

I'm putting this guy up for sale or trade offers. I do not believe his looks are heritable at this point so this would be a display snake only. I have quite a few morphs but he is the one animal that makes even non-snake people go "wow" when they see him. With that said, I bought him for a decent chunk of money and won't be giving him away.

Just to repeat it, I don't think his appearance is genetic. He came in this way as an adult WC over 15 years ago. I won't go into all the details here but I eventually bred him back to two of his 2007 offspring this year. All of the babies appear to be normal. I guess there's a small chance they could change after a few sheds like a Desert Ghost or Toffee/Candy but I'm not holding my breath.

He does have a stub tail but he's sired three clutches from three different virgin females so the plumbing works fine. He has jet black eyes and I've never seen his pupils, he may have some vision issues or be fully blind as he bumps into stuff. He's right around 1850 grams and feeds on thawed rats. PM me with any questions, or just post. :)

Here's a photo Al Baldogo took of him in April, 1994

I'm a realist, I'm very aware that I won't get anywhere close to the thousands of dollars I've spent on him or the amount time I've put into this animal and this project. I didn't really expect to sell him, I thought maybe I'd get some cool trade offers and see what happens. I'm not going to sell him for a couple hundred bucks, I'd rather just keep him.

I don't have any set price in mind. If someone makes me an offer that sounds reasonable to me he'll be sold. I am open to trade offers but only chondros or balls.

Well I'm going to put my foot in my mouth as it turns out I *will* be selling him for a couple hundred bucks (or less). I'll sell him for the best offer by Friday April 2nd and will ship him out the following week, weather permitting.

You can PM me or post offers here. I declined a few offers earlier so if you're still interested PM me again.
 
That is a KILLER animal you have there. Its a **** shame he didn't prove genetic, that would have made some gorgeous combos. GL man
