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.

Hi, thanks for your interest. As mentioned in the article, each had different characteristics as well as some that cross species lines; these are highlighted in the species accounts. Individual preferences and abilities, resources, etc are of course critical. Best, Frank

African house snakes. The only way I can describe my two is the strength of boa, personalty of a corn snake, and feeding response of a kingsnake.

I think you need to reveal more details as to what you expect. Are you looking for something to display or hold? Nocturnal or diurnal? Do you have lots to spend on a setup or do you already have a setup and what type? Are you limited on types of rodents or can you easily get live/frozen rats, lizards, crickets, mice etc? I guess the better question is what do you expect to feed and not feed? Are you willing to take on a higher humidity animal or is that something you don't want to be burdened with?

Rufous Beaked Snakes, I know they're rear fanged but I've had quite a few over the years and none of them have ever shown any signs of aggression.

I'm very interested in those, but never recommend them or similar for private collections. Over the course of my career I've seen serious reactions to rear fanged snakes of various species...can be due to individual sensitivities, etc. Also, venom evolves/changes over time in some species, and those of most rear-fanged snakes have been little studied, so we do not have a good handle on treatment...there can be nasty surprises lurking. Best, frank
