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.

New BT Cribos
This is a pair of recently acquired BT Cribos from Black Pearl Reptiles. The first pic is the female out of Chuck Elliot's line. The other is the male out of Black Pearl's line. John Michael's of Black Pearl is a go to guy. I highly recommend him and you should check out his website.
I've been wanting to get back into Dry's for some time. I had a pair of Easterns way back in the late 70's early 80's and they were some of my favorite snakes. I'm really looking forward to watching these two grow up.

Thanks I love the easterns too. John at Black Pearl is encouraging me to go through the permit process but it is such a PITA. LOL This pair may be enough to get me to do it though.

The permit process is actually easy. (I know some breeders like Mr. Bruce help you along the way)

I remember years ago a guy having a spectacular example of one of these at the place where I used to buy my mice early on up in Maryland. Beautiful bright golden yellow head and body. I wanted to buy that snake BADLY, but the guy just wouldn't part with it.
Definitely impressive looking animals....

Permit process.
John you are ruthless and merciless. So are you saying you're willing to assist me in the process? I don't know if it's changes I just remember it was about 40 pages and DNR wanted everything but your first born. Maybe come spring after my bank account has had a chance to recover.

Actually, I filled it out recently. It isn't bad at all. You do have to write a narrative to answer their 14 questions. The application is also expired but I called David Hess (South East FWS) and he told me to use the old application as the new one isn't available yet. Personally, I really question the purpose of the interstate commerce license. I suppose the federal FWS wants to regulate interstate commerce of this species because of their threatened status in their natural range. Unfortunately, breeders have inbred/line bred their Easterns for certain traits (red throats etc...) or because of the lack of genetic variability in their stock. Since the lines of Eastern and Texas indigos are so limited to begin with in this country (due to their illegal status in their indigenous states), the lack of movement of animals between states doesn't help inbreeding issues. Just my two cents.

Yeah I have an Eastern but because there are alot of breeders in CA I didnt need a permit. I Think my next snake will be a Unicolor or a Texan. (would love a rubidus but pricey)
I love a good looking blacktail though.
