    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....

Nice pickup. I love the banded normals! I would def quarantine and get that girl/boy to gain weight.
 
Turned out to be a male but thats ok I have a female for him already for the future.Not as reduced or banded but still looks good.

Thanks for all the compliments on my new snakes.And the one in the second pic is a female that if I can remember right weighed out at around 1500 grams(and only cost me $10)and looks pretty healthy but still being quarantined and will possibly be there a little longer than normal to be on the safe side of why I got her so cheap.When I asked the guy why she was so cheap he said because she was just a normal and that most people was wanting babies and not adults but whatever guess he didnt know much about snakes if thats what he thought so she is in a better place now anyway.
 
Both of those should be an interesting dinker project for you!! Get them up to speed and find out what you can get :) If the banding and reduced pattern is genetic.. you got yourself a treasure throve.. LOL Good Luck!
