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.

Third year of producing S. p. pullatus
And a good year, too! Her first clutch this year consisted of 10 eggs, one of which looked half slug. It developed for a while until the 'slug' part of the egg turned real bad and killed it. The other 9 are coming along beautifully and should hatch at the end of this month. Her second clutch (laid this morning) totalled 8 eggs, all fertile. Pretty big for a second clutch!
Pics of all eggs:
We couldn't be prouder of our pair. 
What will they be like? Well... here is a fairly recent pic of last year's holdback:
Can't wait to have more hyper squirmy worms to play with, hehehehe.

I like the high yellow! Are they N. Mexico spilotes? How's their temperament? I work with a sweet pair at the Nash. Zoo in TN. They are the best diurnal display snakes around!

No, these are Central American pullatus, not mexicanus. With regular handling, they calm down fairly well.

Thanks, Kelli and Dennis. Here's a few of the hatchlings from the first clutch this year:
All 9 of the good ones hatched. These have had their first shed, but will probably look better after their second when their speckling starts to come in more.
One from the second clutch is not developing, so we should get 8 more babies since they are all looking good.  I love these snakes!!!

Great pictures! Too cute! They look great now. I’m sure after their first shed they will be extremely stunning.

Congrats again, Michelle. You and Donnie are really good with the egg layers. Sorry about your luck with the boas this year, but there is always next...
On another note, Tisiphone (an ATB that Mich and Donnie gave me; you guys are the best!  ) has eaten twice and is due for another tonight if she desides to take it. She's heavy in shed currently and when she sloughs, I'm totally putting her in with my male for some HOT TREEBOA ACTION! I'm syched. She's been cooled all winter, now let's hope my male knows what to do with her.
