    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....

need to know who will be there with hets. preferable 100%hets. i am looking for a male or female adult or subadult het for albino or piedball or anything else to start my own project and to start breeding for the first time ever. hopefully i will be at the show i will try to make it even though its on my birthday. i want to get into the herp industry but ive been keeping ball pythons for over 5 yrs and never breed before or even thought about breeding.but now i believe that i am ready to tackle this dream of mine. so please anyone out there if u have anything and you will be at the show please email me directly at my email address which is [email protected]. and please i beg of you let the price be very reasonable. lol thank you for taking time of your life to read and respond to my ad. that if u responded. :) :D
 
What I would do...

If I were you I'd buy a male grazani pastel for 750-1000. You were selling those huge females and have decided to keep them. Pastels are co-Dom. By the punnet square you should recieve 1/2 pastels 1/2 normal. This would be the easiest way into the market. Hets need to be raised up (I have 1.3 100% het albinos). I'm looking at 2 years for the females and 1 for the male. Good luck with what you decide!

it would be great to be able to afford that pastel but im really not that rich and will have no more than 200$ to waste on a snake because i dont believe in spending so much money on just a snake. this is why im looking for a het because they are much more inexpensive and cheaper way to produce what u want. afetr that i will be able to waste that kind of money on snakes. but for now i cant waste money like that. thanks for the suggestion. but im only looking for hets due to those money issues. but thanks anyway. are u planning to sell that het male or a het female? and if so for how much?
 
ummm...

I won't be at that show and I'm not positive I'll be picking up a male albino yet. Right now I'm planning on breeding the male 100% het to the 100% het females and keeping back the 66% het females produced. For 200 your going to end up with either a 100% het albino male or 100% het ghost male. You won't find females at that price. Your offspring will be 50% het which aren't easy to sell! The females maybe but males you can't give away! The females you would have to raise and breed back to the 100% het male and pray they are hets (your looking at a 3-4 year project to produce 1 albino). Even if you don't produce any albinos you need to keep back the females and breed again next year as sometimes hets won't produce albinos! I was also slow to get into the market because of the money issue. With the adult females you have you'd make 5X ++++ compared to what you invest.
