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.

i'm very partial to the easterns as those are what i grew up catching . when i was a kid our family would do family reunuins down on the outer banks of north carolina and i've found god knows how many of them over the years . the westerns are pretty nice too . we have a bunch of hatchling westerns in the petshop i work at right now .

My Boyfriends Little Brother and sister love the snakes we have and so do alot of the other children that live in the complex, including my landlord, ( whom i gave a ball python to recently!) I hope to get the kids addicted to snakes too, but i guess well see. Theyre a bit too crazy for snakes right at this time, but im hoping in the future i can convice their mother to let them get a pair of corns or something easy.
Im kind of glad that im living in a place thats fairly accepting of snakes. our neighbors dont mind them and even like to look at them when i bring them outside. though it seems that most everyone else around me HATES them!
In the Poll i chose eastern hoggies just cause thats the first kind of hoggy i ever got to see. Theyre pretty interesting little buggers! i love the play dead bit they do!

I'm a western fan.
I've got a 32" western named Snakey (generic, I know). Her pics are somewhere in this forum. They're my favorite because they're friendly, don't need a lot of room (although she's going to be in a 4 foot by 2 foot cage) and look cool. Easterns look cool too, but having to feed toads is kind of a hassle.

I like the look of the tricolors, but I really love the westerns. I don't own any yet, but I'm trying to get the permit process going (threatened native species in IL).

She chose the western on your poll. I am excited for her. I hope she gets the bug.

aww, that's great! I hope that she gets the "herp bug" too!

I voted Westerns
I've only kept Westerns and Easterns (though I don't own any hoggies right now), but I'd have to say that the Westerns are my favorites.

I have a Tri (L. pulcher) and an Eastern. I love the Eastern, but feeding her has been extremely stressful. My Tri, OTOH, is voracious and eats unscented FT pinks within seconds of being placed in his feeding container.
The Eastern is very gentle and shy, and I love her hood-spreading and hissing and puffing. I was also surprised about how much time she spends hanging in vines. She is out before the sun comes up and stays out all day.
The Tri is in hiding. I have never seen him out except on his first day. He is very gentle, too. If I set him down, his first reaction it to try to burrow. It's pretty funny. He also twitches like a horse if I touch him- just in one little area. He doesn't hiss or spread his hood- if he even has one- I don't think so. He makes a great photo subject since he'd rather curl up and burrow than run away.
Both are unique- but Tri got my vote for favorite because feeding him is so easy.

Dan, do you _have_ a dorbignyi yet??? They are quite out of _my_ price range, though I agree, they are very beautiful.
