    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....

Urban Boas/Erin Urban Inquiry

I have not dealt with the individual in this inquiry, but I did take note of an ad they posted yesterday on KS that can be seen here:

http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=8&de=261706

It is titled "6.5 FT FEMALE HET FOR SNOW - SILVER EYES!" Here is the text from the ad:

A beautiful animal! She has almost a hypo look about her, although I can't explain why she looks "hypoish". Both parents are normal-looking het for snow and this female was born with snow siblings.

What really catches my attention are the silver eyes! So amazing! I wish I had the room for her, but I don't - so she is up for sale.

I also have her female sibling with tons of pink! Her sister is even larger in body/girth. I don't know if I want to sell her sister, but I will entertain offers from those seriously interested. The female sibling also has silver eyes!

This one will go for $675 shipped overnight to your door!

It certainly looks like a nice boa, but a breeding between two het boas can not produce definite het offspring. It may just be a simple mistake, but I feel that it would be important to note in the ad that the female is a *possible* het, assuming that the current owner purchased the boa from a reputable source and can verify genetics.

Other than that, they look like they have some nice BCI and BCC available for sale.

Best of luck,

I actually emailed them regarding the fact that they posted a 44% poss het snow as a het snow in that ad, they stated that if someone asked they did let them know it was a possible het, I am not a big fan of their ad, but I did get an answer. If the ad had said possible het in it, I think it would have been much better. I do not think they are intentionally trying to rip someone off. They do have some very nice looking snakes also.
