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.

Starting to get into Bull Snakes... Questions.
So I've kept reptiles for a long time, but I've never kept bulls. I've wanted to work with them for quite a while and finally am getting into them. (picking up a female stillwater hypo next week). Now I'm pretty well clueless on the morph situation within bulls, outside of knowing there are albinos, whitesides, hypos and I believe axanthics. Are the traits all recessive? Are any codom/incomplete dominant? Any pointers that will come in handy for a soon to be new bull keeper? I intend to keep the new girl in a vision 221 with a radiant heat panel (hot spot around 85 cool side mid to upper 70s) I've read they do well in cooler temps, is this a good gradiant or should I lower it for her?
Thanks for any and all information.

In my opinion, 85 is too hot for the hot spot. When I was keeping this species, my hot spot was around 77-78, going down to about 70 on the cool side.

Thank you for the reply. I will make sure the hot spot stays upper 70s for her. Definitely want to provide the proper setup.

Sure thing. Sorry I wasn't able to give more info on the morphs. All the bull morphs I'm familiar with are recessive, but there might be something I don't know about. Stillwater hypos are one of the most beautiful IMO. I'm sure you'll love your girl.
