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.

leucistic western hognose legality & lineage question...
Just thinking outloud here....
What would happen if more leucistic westerns hatched out from a pair of captive bred and hatched parents with lineage that did not originate in Colorado?
I'm wondering if the breeder would be targeted by Colorado Fish and Game and need to legally prove this lineage did not originate from that state.
If so, How can you prove a snakes "bloodline" originated outside a particular border?
Not starting any rumors here...I do not have or know of anyone working with hets or lucy western hogs....just starting a discussion of lineage and how can it be legally proved.

I don't know how that would work. Maybe since Western Hognose reside outside Colorado, they would have to prove that they originated in Colorado, as opposed to us trying to prove they didn't. Is there a history of Colorado F&G going after people?
Because of the range of W. Hognose it would seem hard for them to even bother with it. Unless, you resided in CO. That's like here in CA, you are only allowed to possess one (total) of certain subspecies of CA Mountain Kingsnake, and some of the subspecies are protected, yet people outside of CA, breed them. In this instance it would be easy for CA F&G to prove a violation, because the CA ssp. do not reside anywhere else. To my knowledge CA F&G doesn't do anything about it, unless you live in CA, and are violating the law.

John...thanks for the reply...
Just wondering (because of all the different lines of lucy ball pythons that have come about) and also a bit of wishful thinking, their may be a chance of a white western hoggie again.

You seem to be missing the fact that the federal authorities went around the country seizing the animals that origionated from that line. If somebody produced them now they would assume that they were from that bloodline and they would be taken as well.

Do You Mean That No One Has A Luesistic Western ? Why Did The Feds Go Around Confiscating Animals? How Did They Know Where The Animal Originated From? Can Someone Share The Whole Story Please This Is The First I Have Heard Of This And Have Been Dreaming About Owning A Luesistic Western Ever Since I Saw Them In Reptiles Magizine.

The origional owner of the first leucistic collected it illegally and sold it's offspring which were in turn then also illegal. So when he was arrested by the authorities and jailed they got from him information on who he sold the babies to but that is not hard when they are advertised or at least when so many people in this business talk about other's affairs. So they seized the offspring that had been sold and have threatened action against the buyers even though they had no way of knowing the offspring were illegal. BUT because of the start of the line being 100% illegal, all production sold is illegal as well. So it ends there unless somebody can find and document an animal in one of the many states they are native to where they can legally be collected.

Check the dates on those pictures, they were from before the bust(s)....
