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.

accidental find
I wasn't really field collecting but found these 2 little guys when hanging clothes out to dry. I wasn't able to get close enough to grab one but was able to snap a photo of each.

I've got one just like that in the yard at my other house...except I don't think it has the yellow stripe (which I'm guessing makes yours nicer?). I know you said you weren't field collecting, but you mentioned that you weren't able to get close enough to grab it...if you want, next time I go over there, I'll grab it and pack it up for you.

Thanks a ton, but I'm okay with just the 2 boa's, unless you cant find a few of them laying around to send I remember catching & keeping a few northern brown & garter snakes when I was younger & thin enough to slide in tighter spots, about 200 pounds ago, lol. I just thought it would be good to get my hands on one for a better picture or so I could show my son when he gets done day care. I doubt it will be long before he is out an about flipping boards & rocks looking for treasures like most of us did or still do.

Any snakes living in my yard are there with my blessings...I wouldn't consider removing them.

I'm not going to lie & say I didn't keep a few wild snakes & frogs as a boy but I usually did let them go after a while. As I got older, I grew to have different way of thinking & agree/respect your decision not to move them.

I caught, kept, and released my share of native herps when I was younger...now that I have my own, I'm content to leave the ones I find where they are. (That doesn't mean I won't catch them, look them over, and take some pics when I have the opportunity
