    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....

I have a slow comp but i assume ill email you some other pics if interested. but i work with a breeder that we actually started with my one hognose, but the pic of the one above is not zuess my mistake its Athena my female. but it actually looks exactly like yours just a little different head details. my email though is [email protected] The guy i work with is Vinny in Chesterfield Virginia, we work at a a reptile store and breeder workshop. Anyway TTYL michael
 
Actually i do have ONE question. Does it eat rodents? And if it does how did you get it to? I normally freeze a frog or toad in water, then defrost it and let the mice soak in the water for 24hrs. then dry them off and feed. Tell em if you have any other suggestions. Those are the only suggestions for now, Thanks.
 
Haven't tried because i haven't been able to get a female....plus he is a problem feeder....hes only ate on his own once or twice, i have to force feed him, ive had him for about a year...
 
ya i had my male accidentally breed with my red tail boa...lol they share a tank, they will be separated soon though...she's getting a little big for him...lol. The babies looked kind of like kenyan sand bos, they died after about a week though...:( But no successful breedings yet......
 
Are you trying to joke here? A redtail boa, breeding with a hognose snake?
I dont believe, I'd need to see it to believe it, and I still wouldn't. And besides, why would you keep a hognose snake with a redtail in the first place?
Dude, that one is a little to out there for me to believe.
 
Would you care to share pictures if it's true?
Surely you'd have taken pictures, with such a rare breeding. Nothing remotely similar to this has taken place, and many people would argue it's impossible. They are very different. Egg layer, and live birth. Boid, and colubrid.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be empty headed enough to leave this undocumented...

Consider the source, he's 15 yrs old. Just check out a few of his other posts and you'll understand.

Ever been abducted by aliens Mikey? I'm sure you could start a whale of a thread with that. :alien:
 
Ok Jeff, makes a lot of sense now. Teen making outlandish claims, I wonder how much business he'll get when everyone knows he keeps species like that together, then claims they breed.
Besides, how big was the female redtail boa, if the male is 17", and the female is just now getting to big for him, she couldn't have been more than 36" at the time of you claim, meaning she was half the breeding size a female is, so she wouldn't have even been capable of producing Redtail babies, let alone your sad attempt of a lie mutt snake.
 
Kid, I don't know why you're such a lying little attention whore, nor do I care. I am, however, growing extremely tired of it. As such, I think it's about time that we seriously reconsider your continued participation here.

Let's take a look at just a few facts that immediately come to mind.

1) The hemipenes of Heterodon sp. will not remain in the homologues of Boa constrictor ssp .

2) These two genera have a disparate number of chromosomes, which makes reproduction impossible.

3) These two species are taxonomically so far removed from one another that they can't hybridize. Nevermind the fact that they're not in the same family, they aren't even in the same superfamily.

4) The timing of gametogenesis in these species precludes any breeding activity.
