    so hard to choose

    Why do there have to be so many pretty BP morphs? It makes it very hard to decide what to get or where to focus. Something always catches my eye and then I research what it is, since combo morphs always seem to get some other name in the BP world (weird). In the thread where I was showing off...

    IBD specimens needed for research

    I just got back from one of my local reptile society meetings. The speakers were discussing reptile diseases and specifically talked about IBD in boids. I know IBD has been found in Boa constrictor and various pythons but hadn't known it was confirmed to be in tree boas. Apparently in '09 the...

    First to pay or First to contact?

    An interesting discussion was going on in the BOI and it's a situation I've seen referenced many times so I thought it would make for some good discussion. Who has 'first rights' to buy a snake? As a seller - how do you prioritize? Is it the first person that contacts you or the first person...

    Caudal luring in Boa Constrictor imperator

    Caudal luring is most commonly seen in species such as the green tree python and copperhead among others, I've noticed that some young BCi do this as well. This is when the snake will twitch the tip of their tail to attract prey and not to be confused with the tail rattle behavior that is seen...

    My letter in response to Lacey Act listing

    I am sending this letter to my Senators, my Congressman and to the President. I don’t see this as a partisan issue as I am an independent with strong left/democratic leanings which appears to be opposite a lot of other reptile keepers I see posting comments about ‘vote them out’ on the various...

    we're having the first rains in months so I was checking the snakes activity level and caught Autumn, my oldest, largest boa, finishing her shed. She'll be 23 this year, she only sheds a couple times a year. I love how you can see the pattern on the shed... Keep up the fight to keep our snakes!

    Best size hide for adults?

    I'm debating between some hide sizes and looking for advice. Which do you think would work better for an adult size BP? I prefer the plastic rock hides because they are easy to clean but the half log hides might work better for a BP since the entrance isn't so small (and jagged shaped), however...

    Enlighten me about lessers

    I really enjoy the look of the mojave and lesser morphs, so in trying to educate myself about ball python morphs I've run into a stumbling block. I was eyeing a lesser platinum, when I search on this it seems that it is a simple lesser which is a co-dom morph. What is the 'platinum' part? Is it...
