    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....

All,
I am looking for a nice WC, LTC, or F-1 male southern pine snake. I cannot seem to locate one to save my life.....are they protected? I only see albino, snow, or patternless, and while they are all beautiful I would like a wild-type specimen for my collection.
Any thoughts...ideas????
Thanks!!!

I thought I answered this for you already .....

S.Pines are protected here in the south, you can only SELL S. Pine MORPHS.
 
Thanks Jim, I don't remember asking you but I may have a while ago when I got those other guys off you. Anyway, thanks for the reply!! I seemed to think seeing they were protected but I thought it was still possible to get CB wild types. Anyway, thanks again for the clarification!
Cheers,
