    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....

What is THIS?

Here is Albeys explanation. He captured what I was trying to in his photos much better. :D
And his pied also has a random black scale in the white. :rofl: :rofl:

If you are referring to the pink coloration of some of the scales like in the following two pictures it is a normal occurrence in some Pieds.

One of mine does it occasionally. You know how when Balls are going into shed the belly turns pink, well with some Pieds some of the scales on the body will also turn pink. Most of the time it is gone when they shed. Other times it goes away after a week or so and sometimes it just stays. I wouldn’t worry about it.
 
I'm saying I've seen it here in Oregon probably because they are cared for poorly. They are NOT WC and they have ticks.

Thanks,

Plus do to the poor picture quality it looked like it was bulging out, not just an ordinary random black scale. n.n

That's museum quality compared to the pictures I take :rolleyes:

I knew his pied had the black scales & thought the dorsal marks where just rub marks from a wood hide or such so I had no clue what he was talking about.

(No worries Steve, I'm stalking your snakes, not you :D )

If you think that was a poor quality picture, you should have seen the one's he used to subject us to....
I can't view photobucket images here, so I can't double check; but I don't recall the spot looking like a tick, or bulging. :shrug01:

Really sad thing is that my boyfriends camera phone takes better pictures than the digital camera I have ROFL
hmmm, I'll admit that some of the current generation cellphones take pretty good pictures, but if you're losing that battle.....well....you probably shouldn't blame it all on the camera.:>poke2<:
 
I wasn't blaming...maybe it WAS my eyesight but the first pictures posted did look like the scale was bulging.

Losing a battle...LOL :p
 
And I guess I shouldn't call it poor...just that it made the scale look like it was bulging to me, sorry if you took it the wrong way! :)
 
No, they really weren't...but it was always so much fun to tease you about them.
