    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....

Just wanted to know if any folks bought from him. He has some sub-adult (161-266 grams) ball pythons for sale.

They sound like a steal as they are all eating rats. These animals ( CH/farmed) have been in his care since they hatched.



Is it too good to be true?

Its either these or het albinos with a useless guarantee.

Subadult? Those should be labeled juveniles at best! Where is this ad placed?

Thanks.

I think it was $150 for the smaller ones and $200 for the "bigger" ones.

I'll find the ad and post it here. It just caught my eye and its either a joke or a good ole dishonest ad.
 
Sub-Adult Captive Hatched Females
I have decided to sell some female 04 balls. I have had them since they hatched and planned on raising them up but I just have to many. I am only selling ten to fund another project. All of them eat rats and are perfectly healthy. THESE ARE NOT IMPORTS. Prices are below. I accept pay-pal, checks and moneyorders. Shipping is usually $40-$50. Pics available for serious buyers, they are all super nice as I was planning on keeping them for myself.

Well...maybe I could've said that differently. Most of the people will label ball pythons as babies, juveniles, sub-adult, and adults. The problem is where we draw the line of adulthood. If be adult one means sexual maturity that would differ between males and females, the former reaching it first. One way or the other I wouldn't label sub-adult a 200+ g animal. Yes, if discussing semantics it could be called sub-adult (because it's "under" its weight) or maybe say it's a sub-sub-sub-adult. Labeling a 700-800 g female a sub-adult would be more appropriate.
