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.
An acquaintance of mine recently went to an expo in Chicago, and among the photos she posted is this one:
Unfortunately, she doesn't recall the name of the exhibitor or anything about the snake, so she's given me permission to post it in search of answers (I can only assume she had permission to take the photo in the first place).
Anyone know what species/locality/morph this is, and who owns it? Are any commercially available yet?
Its a normal upper midwest bullsnake-an especially nice one with clear yellow ground color and very saturated black markings, but it does not really have morph status. I have seen animals like that collected from IA, IL, WI, IN, MN. No reason you could not breed for those characteristics, but those of us from those states don't usually bother due to the regulations. I have seen hatchlings offered for sale for under $50 on the various reptile classifieds sites, but as hatchlings, you cannot be sure they will look exactly like this as adults. I have not seen many of this high contrast. There is a lot of variation. I have always thought that they were the most underappreciated colubrids in the hobby.
Not rare, but you may want to find out if you can legally own/breed/sell them if you live in any state that P. catenifer sayi is indigenous to. It does not look like you live within its range.
I had a pair exactly like that about 10 years ago that were sold to me as Northern Pines. Confused the hell out of me as to what they really were. I ended up trading them to Evan Stahl and, as far as I was told, ended up going to Henry Rollins.
