    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....

one of my FAVS

This ball python is my favorite.......I got it in a trade. Was told it is a female but have yet to get it sexed (just wont pop for me) She/he is gorgeous very unique pattern and color. I cant seem to capture the uniqueness of it but kinda has a blurry look to its pattern and very very dark velvet looking jet black.............the weirdest thing about it is........its tongue is purple????? very odd for a ball python and she/he is completely healthy, active, and a chow hound. Hopefully she/he will pass on the weird blurred pattern to offspring, however either way IMO this is a SLAMMIN normal :D If it is a male I would definitely like to breed him to my reduced patterned mojaves and see if I cant come out with something cool :thumbsup:

She/he is my absolute favorite.......I wish everybody could see her/him in person, you can really appreciate how gorgeous it is in person not so much with pictures and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that she/he has a dark purple tongue :) :) :)
 
poss chocolate type?

i want more opinions......
I was looking on kingsnake and saw a couple pics of chocolates for sale which got me thinken.......this snake looks pretty dang close to a chocolate. Of course she is still nothing but a normal or a "dinker" until proven but I am pretty confident about what I think she looks like.

i love this girl and I really hope her looks prove out to be something......you really have to see her in person to completely appreciate the colors and contrast on her :)
 
Very pretty, sort of reminds me of one of my dinkers in a few of the pics. The belly too. Good luck proving her out!
 
Those dark velvety normals are always my favorite. I love anything with that amount of contrast. Very pretty snake. Hopefully she passes on that coloration :)
 
hey deb, great normal with awesome pattern and highlights, i think u got that from me awhile back, lol can not remember, to much tequila tonite, i will have a shot on that snake thou,, good luck with her....mark
 
didnt get her from you mark lol i got her from a local guy here in san diego in a trade.......but definitely have a shot for her and a nice ice cold beer for me :)
 
I checked out my dinker that is similar to your girl and she also has a dark purple tongue. Pretty neat :)
