    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....

Ringer or???

I've never produced a snake with a ringer before, so I'm not sure if this qualifies as a ringer or not. This is a pic of one of the black pastel males I hatched recently. Is this a ringer or no?

It looks like it wanted to be a ringer. What does the other side look like? And the belly (in that spot)?
 
Took a couple new pics. Finding another marking on the other side just `1-2 inches above the first leads me to believe it's just odd blushing. Interesting the others didn't show anything else like this.

Usually, with a ringer, there is a pattern disruption that I'm not really seeing. (Many times, there is a pied-like white spot.)
With a similar spot on the opposite side, but a little ways off, it was really trying to be a ringer...but I'd call it a wannabe.
 
So close to a proper ringer! I find that black pastels have ringers more often than other morphs.

Here's mine, you can see the white.

Theres a term that many people i know have used, including myself, for such disruptions in the pattern. A 'partial' ringer. Its not quite a ringer, but, partially is. ;)
