    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....

Aaaahhh the aroma!

I fed my 04 red, male a frozen thawed dekay's snake a few days ago. Well it came out the other end tonight and WOW that was the nastiest crap I have ever smelled and it was loose so it ended up ALL OVER the cage!

Remind me to not feed snakes to my indigos very often!

Just curious,...where'd you get the DeKay's snake, and how big was it? F/T? I haven't seen any of those since I left Iowa. Those and Garters where the first species I ever caught. And bullsnakes when I got lucky.

I can't imagine that there aren't any around your area, they have a state wide distribution. The ones around your area might be intergrades though.
This was by far the largest dekay's snake i've ever seen or heard of, it was just over 17" long.

Here's a pic...

birds.......

errrrrrrr...

Well, indigos crap as much as birds

Anyways, kind of off the subject a bit. I got rid of one snake and got a new snake. New snake is an african house snake. After studying them a bit, I understand they can be bred like rabbits (or BREED as well ). As an indigo owner, I'm wondering if anyone has used/bred these as a source of snakes for their indigos ?

I guess thats doubtful with what the output smells like :slamit:

Just a weird thought. And with other snake eating species growing in popularity.............. maybe some kind of opportunities ?
