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 Pair of Lampropeltis Triangulum Gaigeae!!!
I've always been a ball python fan, and never really ventured elsewhere, but started to take an interest in some of the colubrids, and then the black milk snakes.
One day when chatting with Kara, I asked her if she had any available black milks, and she did. This pair of San Antonio Zoo line arrived today. They are September hatch babies.
I'm very excited to add them to my personal collection!
This is the little girl, Onyx - and she has a bit of stuck shed.
This is the little boy, Jett and he's a wannabe rattlesnake.
Special thanks to Deborah of Stewart Reptiles who agreed to have them delivered to her house, so I wouldn't have to miss work. I'll pick them up from her place next weekend.

Beautiful baby gaigeae's Robin!! These have to be one of the most unique of the colubrids out there. I love my pair, although if the female doesn't put out this spring, it's off to the selling block for her! 
Congrats!!!

Awww - poor gal! 
I haven't decided yet if I'll ever breed this pair, but did go ahead and get a pair "just in case" I change my mind. For now, they are just to be part of my private collection for me to enjoy growing up. I'm very excited to have them!
Kara warns me that the adults have the feeding response of a retic!

...and she is absolutely right about the feeding response! I hurry up and set the food down and close the door, because once they get a wiff of food and see any movement, it's 'game on' .

Hey John - caresheets on these guys seem to be very hard to find. Do you happen to know of any good ones that you can direct me too? I know that they don't need supplemental heat and do well in the mid 70's, but that a basking spot can be offered to allow them to choose. From the research that I've done, they seem to be very low maintenance critters with awesome dispositions!

You know Robin, I don't think I've ever seen a care sheet specifically for them, I ended up just absorbing as much info as possible from multiple sources. What you've got so far is absolutely true though.
Maybe it's time someone did one up.......

Hey!!! Jett is the name of my male!!! Haha its ok we can share
I am a black milk addict myself so I understand your excitement!!! I just picked up another female to make it 4 for me now!
And as Fraggin said above, when it comes time for dinner....toss in the food and close the hatch or RUN!!!! They come flying out for food like a dog for a steak!!! At least when they get a little bigger that is.
I dont use any extra heat or basking spots for my guys and they are thriving! During the summer they seemed stressed from the heat and were shedding almost every two or three weeks, but now that its cold out, they seem way better! Best snakes ever in my book
