    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....

This is a female that actually belongs to my partner, Rick Graves. He has a 1.1 pair that will hopefully be breeding soon. Until about a year or so ago, we had never even heard of these. She's an '03 I believe and she is a real sweetheart. :)

You know Scott I have no idea. The male looks just like her, and they were from a pair or normals, so as far as I know its a recessive gene. The male is her brother, but a year younger. The farthest back I know about them is that they were bred by Arizona State University, buts thats all I know. My partner Rick may know more. I normally stick with colubrids and he does boas, so I have no clue. Do you have a website or an email address for Rick Staub? I'm sure Rick G. would be interested in talking to Rick S. (lol)

This will be the first time breeding indians, so any helpful hints that you can think of would be very helpful. Thanks! :)

rick staub's email is [email protected] and there is a link to his website thru ks.com in the breeder section under his name. he suspects its a hypo-like dominant or partially dominant gene with his sunset line. i have a group of his sunset line, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation animals. all are outstanding, with very unique differences in pattern and intensity of the orange. . he has a great article on breeding johni on his website. i pretty much follow the advice there. if your partner comes across anymore from the university or decides to sell his pair please let me know. thanks, scott miller [email protected]
