    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....

Pastel?

Nice side colouration, but for Pastel the eyes should be green, the underbelly & most times the mussle should be bright white as well. Still, an very nice snake. -Deb
 
I bet you as it grows it will get brigther after almost each shed. I have a ball very similar to that one. Bred him this year for the first time. I was having problems with fluctuation with my incubator. But 2 of the 5 eggs hatched and one looks just like the dad. The other is a darker normal look. I asked a reputable breeder what he thought of mine he said he thought it looked like a norm and he thought the babies both looke like norms as well. I want to find out if the baby that hatched is a male or female. Hope to breed father back if its a female. Who knows? Later Mike
