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.

Wow, Gila....many thanks. Decades ago, I lived in south Orlando area, and caught several couperi, all of which had very ruby-red throats. I'd thought the all-blacks were from regions Northwards....but as I recall , Longwood is immediately adjacent to Orlando, maybe NE, towards Daytona?
Many thanks for sharing!

That picture is from about 10 years ago and it was found in Citrus County. I doubt there are many if any couperi left in Longwood because it's all pretty developed unfortunately.
Wekiva Springs State Park isn't too far away and there is plenty of suitable habitat there but I've never had any luck seeing one there. I'm sure they are there though.

Christopher I love the pics!!! I let my guys slither around my 4 mini dogs every now and then, and the dogs do much of the same as your cats. They will cautiously sniff and investigate but they always keep a good buffer zone in case of a giant black noodle attack haha! My big boy is just over 5.5 feet, and my younger boy is about 4.5 feet...he is also a jerk in his cage and loves to strike and bite until I get him out. Then he is chill. Little freak he is. My older one has never been cage aggressive so not sure where the younger one got that from. Oh well.

A very handsome snake, Scott! He's very unique, in his golden color. My 4 snakes from Robert were also very small when I got them; I'm trying hard to correct that! Tim (above) has a '13 snake that's almost as big as my '12 pair!
If you go to the kingsnake.com Indigo forum, you'll find a long discussion regarding this. Robert has told me, by email, that he "maintenance feeds" his snakes, so as to avoid having to move them all to bigger cages. (Grrrrr)
Gila, by the girth of your blacktail, you're not shy about feeding them, any more than I am! Although I only have Easterns now, I love the looks of blacktails; can't imagine I'll be able to resist them for long.
Markus, that is truly a fantastic picture...and the one, on Kingsnake, that started me off posting pictures here....I'm really happy to see all the great Dry photos -- hope everyone will keep the thread going!

Thanks! I know I really like him a lot. He's a cool little dude. But, he's still pretty shy, due to being young and small. I kind of suspected the "maintenance feed" is what was going on. Hopefully, with plenty of food, he'll catch up eventually.
