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.

Kisatchie Cornsnake
I was thinking on purchaseing a Kisatchie Corn. Can someone tell me if a Kisatchie is a true corn? I was thinking on breeding him with my current stock but if he is not true corn I would not want to do that, like breeding a creamsicle into my stock, I wouldnt do that. Any information you might have on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Jay & PJ

I used to think that the Kisatchie is a locality of corn snakes, just like the Okeetees and the Miami-phase specimens, but according to Don Soderburg's (sorry if I spelled that wrong, I can never remember if it's "urg" or "erg"...) website, they have "recently been described as a new species". I don't have any of them, but I have seen a few, and I think they'd be more of a sub-species of guttata than a different species altogether. Then again, what do I know about corns... lol

Well, I sent an E-mail to Don Soderberg and here is what he told me "Well, it's neither a corn nor an Emory's. Several years ago, it was described as the newest rat snake species in over 100 years. Hence, it would not be wise to breed to your corns. I know it's in the corn section and I now need to get that out of there. I'm glad you wrote as it had not even occurred to me.
Thank you for your inquiry,
Don Soderberg

I think i'm going to take his advice and not purchase this animal for breeding purposes until someone out there can deffinatly place a Kisatchie into the Cornsnake gene pool. Thanks to everyone who helped me with my question. It is a really beautiful naturally
occuring snake though, huh?
Thanks Again,
Jay & PJ

Cool. Thanks for posting the info you got from Don. I agree that they're a very interesting snake, and if I didn't already have so many corns and emorys I would probably have some of those, too. Just for clarity in the future, I think it would be a good idea if people started referring to them as "Kisatchie Ratsnakes" instead of "Kisatchie Corn Snakes".
