Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

BTs: Winter or Spring Breeders??
I have a female which I would like to breed this year but my male is a yearling. I was thinking of looking around for a breeding loan this or next month for pairing in November, assuming they were winter breeders like Easterns.
But I just noticed the caresheet at Indigosnakes.com suggests cooling two months starting in November,which in my mind makes them spring breeders.
So which is correct? And when should I start asking around??
Thanks in advance.

Seasons
Hello, Lloyd,
The Central and South American members of the Dry clan do not encounter the same climatic seasonal changes experienced by their "Yankee" cousins, as they experience virtually no significant temperature drops. Some people have indicated the lack of photo period changes as well, but I believe the overcast conditions present during the rain season, which coincides with the mating season of Drys within this range, provides for such.
I start heavily misting all of my cribos during the latter weeks of July and start pairing them in August and continue doing so through mid October, leaving the pairs together for the duration of this time period, with the exception of feeding, though most of my males show little interest in feeding during this time period. So far, this method has worked well for me over the years.
If you need a breeder male D. m erebennus, just let me know, as I have a few nice ones and I would be happy to loan you one..
Best regards,
Jeff

Sounds like I am starting late then.
Did you misspeak and mean that you have a male Black Tail rather than a Texas? If so, I accept!!
I'll start misting her tomorrow,and reducing the photoperiod a bit,and we can make the Delta arrangments asap.
Thanks much.

I bred my unicolors in Sept. last year. And she gave me 20 eggs, if that helps.

Soory about that, Lloyd,
I had D. m erebennus on the brain, as I just recieved another pair of them. Yes, I have a few male D. m melanurus breeders and I would be happy to loan you one. Shoot me an e-mail and we can iron out the details.
Also, I should have mentioned, the mating season for South American Drys appears to span August - October and possibly into November.
You might note, many of the WC D. corais come into the US in November and many of the females are obviously gravid and close to oviposition...
Look forward to hearing from you,
Jeff
