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.

General Herp Talk Can't figure out where to post down in the other discussion forums? Too many options and too complicated? Well post your herp related messages here and to heck with it.

Snake ID--Prairie King, Emory, or Slowinski?
or intergrade?

I just caught this one today (Friday 1-22-10) in NW Harris County (Houston), TX.

As you will notice it has a small head for an Emory's Rat. It's about two feet long and a little skinny. I am going to fatten it up and probably let it go. It hasn't tried to bite me yet or even give me a warning except when I first caught it, in a very swampy area.

I have looked and looked and compared and they all look the same to me pretty much, except for the belly scales on this one are not distinctly marked like a lot of others I have seen.

It is a Prairie King.

Emory's have a divided anal plate and the Prairie King anal plate is single.

Here's a snake id site that applies to most Texas species.
