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.

Miscellaneous indigo stories discussions topics
etc.
Thought we ought to have an "anything about snakes", "general discussion" thread to help broaden the spectrum here and maybe motivate more activity.

I've always had a thing for Arizona coral snakes but, IL does not allow the keeping of HOT stuff.

Wish list....
Ok. Here's MY short list. I'm going to keep my options open for awhile (a year or two or three). I need to unload my E. T. Ridleyi first, to make room for whatever I decide on, since I'm keeping my collection extremely small (two large, MAYBE one small type). Here goes:
1. Mussurana (very interesting and gorgeous animal). Has the extreme feeding response I like.
2. False water cobra (extreme feeding response).
3. Black headed python (very unusual and nice snake. Only boid that interests me).
4. Female Eastern indigo (to mate with my male. I know dry fans will encourage me to go HERE, AND I may).
5. Maybe one of the african house snakes (for small variety. Some have nice colors/patterns and easygoing temperament)
6. Or one of the grey banded kings (for small variety.)
Any input, ideas, suggestions are more than welcome.

Great choices
All are great choices, and you can add the exceptional feeding response to both the Aspidites as well, as both subs harbor an incredible feeding response.
I'm curious though, why no Pseudaspis cana??

Thane has good taste in snakes! I have indigos, cribos, and false water cobras ..and I too would like to get hold of some mussuranas, and the guy who mentioned pseudaspis cana...well, a pair of those too... even down to the house snakes I agree with him.. funny that he lists those in the same breath with the others...but he's right in there as far as cool taste...
where I diverge probably is that I like frigging watersnakes!
Is that weird or what? I think me not being driven over to Bill Chases' to buy some watersnakes he had when I was a kid visiting florida, and my parents not wanting to wait around while i tromped around in the swamps while I was there had a adverse effect!! I was traumatized!! (heheh) now I can't get the damn things out of my head.. I have a pair of red mangrove saltmarsh, and a bunch of the big florida browns ..taxispilota.. and a lone diamondback male...needs a mate ..but i'm in bloody canada..fat chance eh?
anyway, cheerz ppl

Nerodia
Nothing strange about enjoying Nerodia spp., as they are a diverse and fascinating group snakes to work with.
I find it strange that folks seem to be "warming" up to Nerodia spp. only recently...
As for an interesting indigo story, if you take a look at the photo of the mating pair of D. m rubidus (Mexican red-tail indigos) I posted to the photo forum that is actually the female pinning the male. I have all six of the available Dry subs, have been working with Drys for over 20 years and this was a first for me..
Here's the pic, in case you didn't see it within the photo gallery..
Best regards,
Jeff

Well...
I have 5 of the available subspecies of Drymarchon , so the only thing on my wish list would be the 6th...couperi . Since Georgia just doesn't seem to want to issue permits for them, I guess that one will stay on my wish list. I kept them years ago, before they were protected and after when I lived in a state that allowed it.
