    Snakes Eat Strawberries ?

    Perhaps. Clearly not the intent of the LiveScience article nor the context of Professor Liston's comment. My intent posting - is solely that uninformed people reading such an article will believe snakes (in general) will eat strawberries. And I have no doubt having read the story - then finding...

    Man Bitten by Rattlesnake in Connecticut

    As I’ve previously posted, MAJORITY of venomous bites occur to non-reptile people doing stupid stuff. Here is another example. So, while the guy had good intentions to save the snake from the roadway – his approach was unskilled and without knowledge. Notice he was also trying to rehab a bat...

    Rough Scaled 2024 Examples

    I would not say these traits are unique to sand boas in general nor to rough scaled sand boas in particular. Various genetic morphs are known in most all species and I would recommend you Google about morphs among the species. Similar morphs or traits are found in many species - such albinism...

    Rough Scaled 2024 Examples

    Thanks CK. I have a young male very similar to that reddish female. Will let you know in 2025 if the babies look like mom - some should.

    Rough Scaled Sand Boa "New Morph"

    Thanks CK ! Agree on the RSSBs not taken seriously enough. Perhaps "we the conicus nuts" can change that asap. They really are fine animals. I am confident diet preferences are strongly genetic.

    Common Blood Thinners Could Combat Cobra Venom

    “Common Blood Thinners Could Combat Cobra Venom”. Science 18 July 2024 “When a snake sinks its fangs into flesh and injects its deadly venom, some of the toxins start to tear through tissues almost immediately. The destruction these toxins can wreak leaves some 400,000 people maimed by...

    Rough Scaled 2024 Examples

    Glad you like some I've produced. RP = reduced pattern. The "blaze" and "orange" are line bred. And then line bred into the morph gene carriers. RP is really a line bred pattern that I describe as being "reduction in the blotch sizes and shapes". More related to the reduction of the...

    Rough Scaled Sand Boa "New Morph"

    I have never inbred conicus. At most, some parents may be 12.5% related. It takes a long time but turns out much better in the long run. I'm old enough to recall the first amel Burmese when inbred were just vicious animals. The first amel corns often had kinks, or had body loops attached...

    Rough Scaled Sand Boa "New Morph"

    This is a new phenotype / morph for 2024. The pattern popped up a few years ago and as is my practice, I outbreed traits first so as to have only minimal inbreeding. The examples here are all 2024 from two litters from unrelated "het" parents. I use quotes because it's yet early in working...

    Rough Scaled 2024 Examples

    I continue to work with various phenotypes and genetic morphs of the rough scaled sand boa. In these two posts I reference names including: spotted stripe (SS); extreme reduced (XR); and "ocelot". The SS is so-called to distinguish it from other forms of striping such as zig-zag (another...
