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 guy from sw Louisiana
Howdy. My names Wes. I have a small reptile collection I started back in November. They consist of my African fat tailed gecko, my patternless leopard gecko, my tiny Sonoran gopher snake, and a adult albino Nelson's milk snake. I also currently have 9 tarantulas. 2x Chaco gold knee, 2x Honduran curly hairs, a Texas tan, a Mexican redrump, a Guatemalan red rump, a Mexican red knee, and a rose hair. I def plan on expanding my collection. I should be picking up a San Diego gopher snake and a albino Japanese rat snake in a few weeks. Drymarchons are currently holding my interest. Hence how I ended up here. Well.. I'm off to browse. Figured I'd intro myself first.

Elena... How is there temperament? I've read mixed opinions in this. I handle my snakes quite a bit, so I feel I can adapt it to being more docile with regular handling. Any tips or pointers?
Robert walker... thanks bud. I've enjoyed it so far for sure

Climacophora start out defensive, hissing, rattling and striking. I have not found them to be muskers. With gentle handling and increased size they become quite docile. I have never been bitten by a climac that was over a year old, and I didn't have to handle them constantly to get there. So, handling helps, so does simply growing up. I will qualify these statements by saying that I worked exclusively with Kunisir animals, and sometimes animals of different localities have different personalities, such as is seen in GTPs, BCI, and D'albert's pythons. Hope that helps.

It does tons actually. Thanks. I'm pretty excited about picking it up. Real yellow the first half of it and the last half is more pinkish. Such a beautiful animal. I'm looking even more forward to owning it. I love animals with personality.

Be sure to post a pic in the ratsnake forum when you get it. How old will it be when you receive it?

I for sure will. Don't really know the age. Pretty sure it's still considered a baby. About 18"-20". It's been at petco for a few months now. They are asking $180, but a buddy of mine that works there can get her for me half off since she has sat for awhile. Same way I got my Sonoran gopher for $25. He is also the fellow I will be getting the san Diego gopher snake from as well. The sd gopher I will be getting is about double the size of the one I have now. I'll include some pics in the post so u can check em out.

Gorgeous Sonoran, love the striping. At 18" or more, your climac will be at least a year old if not older. They start pretty small.
