    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Crazy Pattern Reply

Hi,
The Parents were wild caught animals from south Texas.
Collected off of Fm. 624 and Hwy. 16 south they produced
A clutch of 7 eggs’ all seven hatched, two of the seven snakes
hatched with pattern anomalies, the pic posted would be the
most unusual of the patterns out of this clutch . Long nose snakes are
not commonly kept due to their refusal to feed readily.
But I do think they are underrated in the herp keeper’s opinion
The hatchlings are a bit easier to get to feed and not much more
or any harder work to get started feeding than some of the common
Kings’ and milk snakes being offered in today’s market.
Although Variant by color from locality to locality some being
brighter than others in Red and black or the lack of , still makes this species interesting every time I look at one.

Peace Out!
Randy
 
Yea, a lot of the not so common, and not so colorful or whatnot, herps can be quite intriguing. A lot of the underrated common stuff can be cool too.
