Finally...

[Montypython696]

Here we go again.....

You purchased a pastel, that's great, at least you are adding some sort of genetics to your collection of NORMAL ball pythons. He may be Het. for Pied, but that female you have is a NORMAL, and will be nothing more than a NORMAL ever, period. You say she looks special, but if you've done any research over the last 4 months of not being on this forum, you will know that NORMAL ball pythons have 100's of different color and pattern variations, but they are still NORMAL.

And for the love of god why do you still have the two that everyone has begged you to separate still together?! Especially in that dingy nasty old TV stand. Has your financial situation improved at all since the last time you posted? Or is "Times still hard"? If that's the case why on earth are you adding another snake to your collection, when you do not have a steady income to care properly for your animals.

When you do finally start to breed in September/October, like when you intend to, you do realize that the 490 gram male you just purchased on July 15th. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...46#post2365346 Will still be underweight, and probably shouldn't be bred out for the sake of his health and well being? And should probably still be in quarantine because September is what? Only a month and a half away? Do you even have a proper quarantine procedure going on? Or are the old snakes right next to the new one? Or do you still just plan on making money, and not care?

I see that you revived an almost 6 year old thread about Het. Pied Markers: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-photo-s/page3. You state that "My female is clear all down her belly until around the EXIT area, she's gotta be a het SOMETHING cuz obviously a clear belly means something, I'm just saying....."

But you do realize that a Het. Pied will normally have an almost railroad track looking black pattern on its sides that will go up on both sides of the animal? If you have a snake with an absolute clear belly, it means that she is not Het for pied, and is a NORMAL. And if there is a small chance that she is het for something you DO NOT and WILL NOT know what it is. It could be Pied, Albino, Axanthic, Clown, the list goes on and on and on.

I'm going to reiterate this for the 100th time, but I feel as though I'm just wasting my breath and time. If you by the grace of god, end up with babies, do you have any good way of housing them? Last time you posted you lived in a small apartment, so what are you going to do if eggs go full term and you end up with 4-8 little babies? Are you going to just throw them all in one cage like you have with your NORMALS? Or are you going dumpster diving again to find another piece of old furniture to turn into a husbandry nightmare of an enclosure?

For those other forum posters who believe I am being too harsh with this poster, here are some of his old threads from a few months back. I urge you to read them, because you will all quickly learn that he just does not listen, or just does not care about the well-being of his animals, and is just plain ignorant.

Original poster, we have tried to help you, multiple times, you refuse to listen to us and you retreat and just call us negative. We may not be the nicest people in the world, but when it comes to the health and well-being of the Ball Pythons that we care so much about, there is no better bank of knowledge then this website, and we are willing to help any and everybody who needs it. You just have to get rid of your ignorance and realize that what you are doing is wrong, and work your ass off (like everyone else here has done) to fix your mistakes before you do something really stupid.
