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.

The Eastern are my favorite. I have been catching them since I was young. I kept some as pets when I was a kid. I was raised up in Clearwater Florida, and we had a bunch of them around where I lived. The locals said they were ground rattlers, but I knew different. I still see a few here in north Florida (Panama city) now and then on my herpin trips. I think they are awesome creatures. It don't seem like there are as many as there were years ago.

Now that you mention it, they were mostly young. That is why they get confused with the ground rattlers. That is probably why there are not more around now, due to people's fear of them. I have seen some adults in remote areas here, but most of the ones I see are juveniles.

My eleven year old daughter, Dakota, was in my snake room the other day looking at my boas. She saw my only retic and asked about it. She thought all snakes look like boas. (I have failed as a herp father). So we hit the computer and I introduced her to the world of snakes. Of everything we looked at she fell in love with the hognose. (not a bad choice either, could have been a gaboon). I told her to do the research, learn all about it, pass my test and then she can buy one at an upcoming show that I attend. She chose the western on your poll. I am excited for her. I hope she gets the bug.

Thats great art!!! I like to see children taking an interest in our hobby. My son is only 9 months old, but is already watching them. Maybe he will be a keeper too, but I am not going to force him. I can dream though.

The only experience I have thus far is with my one Western......not a very wide-ranging opinion.......maybe someday I'll have a couple different types to have a broader perspective (I'll have a big job convincing someone here that we need another snake). Those tri-colors are very cool, though.
