    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....

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting on this forum, and i thought i would start things out by posting some pictures of our captive bred and hatched "lil stinky". We hatched him out december of 04 and plan to get another breeding group of wild caught adults together soon, they are a great species to work with, one of the smartest snakes ive ever worked with.

I have one I'd like to find a good adoptive home for.

I got it Feb last year from Nick Mole at First Choice Reptiles. I assume it to be wild caught. It was represented as a sub-adult at that time. It had mites which were treated. I also did a prophylactic regimen of fenbendazole and metronidizole. I also use Parazap.

Although it took three meals in the early weeks after arriving, we went through several months of feeding problems. It began eating on its own again last October. It will not accept rodents, only birds. I have been feeding it quail chicks. I have no idea what sex it is as I bought it as a specimen and not to breed.

This one has a grey tail.

I have decided to tailor back my collecting and concentrate mainly on kingsnakes. So, this ratsnake is a fifth wheel of sorts. I would rather see it in a home where there is more of an interest in these snakes.
