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.

Breeding jungles (corns x kings)
Has anyone had experience breeding jungles? Are they sterile (like mules) or are they breedable? Can they be crossed with another cal king, another corn or another jungle? I would appreciate any input on this subject!

no, they are not sterile like mules; horses and donkeys have different chromosome counts, resulting in sterile offspring (almost 100% of the time). the vast majority of colubrid constrictors, both old and new world, have the same number; so yes, 99.9% of the offspring (either F1, F2 or so on) are typically fertile and can be mated back to either parent species or mixed into other similar colubrid bloodlines.
however, there is a high amount of slugs (infertile eggs) when creating the initial F1 generation; this likely has to do with gene timings being off between different species - although the infertility rate (slug eggs) typically is much lower in consecutive generations (F2 and on) though there are still some issues that may pop up (i.e. you may still have to do trick mating).
a breeder i know has some F1 sinaloan x corn's - two seasons ago he got ten good eggs, while last season they only produced four.

From what I have learned from others is that you always want to breed a female king with a male corn (something about the hemipene size...) Also that you should lure the male corn with a female corn than right before he copulates switch out the female corn for a female king Dont want your corn snake getting eaten...
