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.

A bunch on the way!
Matt,
I am awaiting a couple of the D. corais to complete ecdysis and I will be sending you skin samples from a pair each of all six of the available members of the Dry clan. If everything works out, I will have some samples from D. m orizabensis as well, should you wish to run them.
Best regards,
Jeff

great responses!
thanks Gale and Jeff --
now we need to put our heads together and figure out how to get some skins from wild-caught specimens for comparisons. i have a few leads from the PARC list, but we could use more.

Here ya go
Matt,
I sent a sample from this couperi yesterday, and from this unicolor today. Keep up the good work.
Perhaps we should contact Victoria Davis and see what she says about collecting wild samples. Or even getting fresh sheds from George Van Horne of the Orlando serpentarium, and other Florida institutes who have wild caught couperi in possesion. If all is kosher with that, I am certain he would take part. At least I see no reason why he would not. Any way,...I sincerely applaud your efforts, and will help any way I can.
T.

Matt,
I noticed that a LOT of folks are looking at this thread. Are you recieving a proportional number of samples? I hope so!
Jeff, now tell me again about orizabensis! I'm waiting.

How long do we have?
I want to send in skins from my adult erebennus. I have the male's skin, should I send it in or wait for the female and submit them together? Thanks for doing this!

we'll be taking sheds...
for at least a couple more months mike. if you want to wait for the female to shed, that's fine.
tony, no, we're not getting as many sheds as views of this thread, but that might overwhelm us. i think there is a lot of peripheral interest and some skepticism. some may fear that they have closely related animals and feel that no news is good news. as it is, we have enough sheds to keep us busy for a while. we'll be running out of money before we run out of sheds. we'll be applying for additional funds soon and there's discussion of getting a tech for the next year to help with the analyses. team indigo is still enthusiastic and it's fun being their cheerleader.

I will be sending you samples from four Eastern Indigo snakes. They are yearlings who are growing fast, so it should not take long to get the additional samples.

update on the genetics...
we've run a single mitochodrial locus for nine snakes so far and have been able to identify only three different maternal lines so far. we have a total of 25 couperi samples to run and a small handful of unis and erbies (sorry).
we still need year-hatched data on a few sheds that have been received and we need any info you have on parentage. this will help us put a pedigree together.
please make sure the skins are dry before sealing them in a plastic bag. we've had some stinky and gooey sheds come through.
thanks for your help!
matt
