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.

? for those with Leucistic texas rats
If you saw an ad offering babies with the phrase "bug eyed" as a descriptor what would you think. I was under the impression that bug eyes was consider to be a defect. I am not sure if the seller was thinking this was a good thing (thats the way it seemed) or if he was warning us that they are bug eyed.
Thanks
Steve Schindler

Bug-eyed is a defect. Some breeders advertise that they outcross specifically to avoid bug-eyed leucistic texas rats. What was the price?

Sounds like an add I saw. Maybe they should stick to selling fish.
I wouldn't buy one since they are bug eyed and more money than one that isn't. They seem to think that the bug eyed trait is what people are looking for.

There were several breeders, I believe Bill & Kathy Love were one of the first, who outcrossed their animals to other closely related species to eliminate the defect. It worked and those bloodlines are free of that syndrome. I have several adults here that are normal and produce normal babies. The bug eye trait is both undesirable and flawed. Evan Stahl

SPJ Exactly the impression I got.
Brian They were $60.00 but they were from a retail place not a breeder so the markup is understanable.
Thanks for the replies, for the record I was not considering them, I was just curious because they are one of my favorite snakes and I always check out ads for them.
