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.

2014 High Blue Rhino Ratsnake Male
Shipping now available! More photos coming soon.
Hatched August 2014 by South Hills Exotics from a grass green male and a teal female (I saw the parents at time of purchase,but don't have a photo of them). He has a sky blue ventral with the color bleeding up between the scales on the sides and his scales are bright green. Currently eating large f/t hoppers (multiple at a time) or small adult mice on the smaller side (he usually refuses to take larger prey & acts afraid of it) and will take live if you prefer. He also gets f/t whole silversides or live guppies/platies and whole baby chicken legs as a treat. Has a very strong feeding response so he'll rush outta his cage biting at everything. He shows readiness to breed (mate searching, loss of interest in food, etc) every year after an ambient air cooling during the winter (I leave a heat mat on, but drop the over all ambient air temperature). I have raised him according the the normal care used in the UK for Rhino ratsnakes, not the usual US method (ie. I do not spray the entire cage, water bowl is in the mid zone, water bowl is large enough to soak in, 24/7 humid hide in the mid temp zone, controlled limited ventilation to naturally trap air humidity from the water bowl, misting is very lightly done along the back wall weekly). At this time I want to offer him for local pick up in/near Lebanon PA for his safety because I've had mail delays on feeders.
Cost is $600 + shipping or free pick up in Lebanon, PA. For animal safety I will ship out on Tuesday or Wednesday to your nearest FedEx hub only (provide the address of the hub you want to use) as this will limit his time in the back of a FedEx van and limit any chance of arrival delay. Package must be picked up and any DOA/health claims made within 6 hours of arrival at the FedEx hub. A DOA claim must include a clear photo of the animal on it's back (belly up) and health claims must include a clear video/photo showing the ailment. Do note that mild dehydration some times occurs in shipping due to the prolonged time away from a bowl of water. I do use Lacey act labeling and fast animals before mailing in a Styrofoam lined box. Text 717-304-4487 for fastest response (I do have additional photos on my phone).

Photo is in natural sunlight. No bulbs or filters used. Perhaps my curtains are giving my room a blue tint. I will try getting another photo tomorrow with the curtains open and 1 with the camera flash. Check back late afternoon 8/13 for some additional photos to have been added.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try getting him in an acrylic carrier tomorrow if it's nice before work and try to get some photos like that.

New Photos
Some more photos, as requested. These were taken outside in the shade of my porch. Looks like his belly has gotten quite yellow, though you can still see the blue beneath. Now he does tend to really yellow up before he goes opaque for an upcoming shed then his belly goes back to being primary dominated by blues, so it could be temporary.
