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.

Anyone own Baja Cape Gophers snakes?
Saw some pics of them I saved a few years ago from someone's website, and was wondering what your experiences with these neat looking snake were? Some sites say heat them around 85 degrees, other say higher than 79 makes them regurg. What works or worked best for yours?
Do you know of any good breeders?

You might want to try John Schmitt at Suncoast Herpetological. He has a few types of gophers advertised...I don't remember seeing Baja Capes, specifically, but I think he had mid-Bajas (not doing gophers, I don't know if there is significant difference)

John is a good guy. Gregg Feaster is another good guy to talk to greggsrb.com I had a Cape Gopher, they are cute little buggers, tiny. I kept mine with a hot side at 82 and he only went there right after eating. Most of the time he stayed on the cooler side. Mine was a very nervous critter.
Don't know if this helps...

Very pretty babies Lloyd.
The Capes seem to do well in the 80 to 82 sweet spot. Whoever is recommending 85 is off a bit. They handle a night drop down a few degrees well though which probably mimics the desert climate nicely. I have a few available as well if you are looking.

Lloyd raised a good question though. Are you referring to Bimaris or Vertabralis?

referring to
vertibralis. nice pictures! they are neat looking little snakes. I am getting curious about the more obscure species of snake people have as pets. nice to have something unusual in the collection, although i am not looking for an animal just yet. I sure want them after seeing pictures, though!
thank for the help everyone!
