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.

Could someone share their Thamnophis marcianus care "overview"?
Hi all,
Could someone share the tank set up and or general care they give to their captive Thamnophis marcianus? Also, if possible, could you share photo's of the cage and your specimen(s)? Lastly, do you believe Thamnophis marcianus should be consuming F/T rodents only or do you believe in a "varied diet"? If you believe in a "varied diet", could you please tell me what prey items you use? Also, the ratio/rotation of the prey item in the overall "feeding plain"?
Thanks for your time and looking.

I feed rodents only and keep them in 28qt tubs with a medium-sized water bowl a hide and fake plants. Humidity is 50-65 and temps are 75-88°f.

Thanks so much for that information. My only question, from the above information is this: any idea what that translates into when it comes to tank and or vivarium size?
The picture's of your male and female Granite mutation Thamnophis marcianus are amazing. I will hopefully be acquiring a albino male in the next two weeks. What other colour mutations do you breed?
I just printed out your care sheet. I will also join that forum/group you recommend.
Lastly, what substrate(s) do you use/recommend?
Thanks so much for your time and prompt response!

20-30 gallon tanks. 20 long is minimum for a pair.
I breed pastel, super pastel, granite/pastel granite, albino, albino granite. Thats all the morphs there are in the hobby right now.
I use aspen. I buy my bedding from Wal-Mart. They are a more southern species so are more tolerant to the upper end of temps. You should put a hide on the warm and cool side so they can thermo-regulate
