    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....

So my wife and I picked up a normal ball python that is Het. piebald and on his belly he has an all yellowish normal color looking belly and then it has a spot where the semi ring is and it goes up just a little bit and he has white scales. My questions are though is ringer just a common name used for a low expression of a piebald and if so that means he has the recessive piebald gene in him correct. The guy is a legit breeder and has many beautiful snakes and is reputable but I just want to get a little more information on it because my wife and I would like to breed this pretty male with another het pied and hopefully get one or two of them. This is a pic when he was almost bran new the guy said and since then it is still the same but just not as bright in the pic nor as large as when it was a baby.

No, a ringer is generally non-genetic and nothing to do with whether or not the snake is heterozygous for pied. I've seen photos of ringers on everything from normals to champagnes.
