    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....

Hmmmmmmmmm

After years of keeping and breeding various colubrids, boids, lizards and bugs; I've evolved to the pinnacle of ophidian evolution - Crotalus. Right now it's 12 species and sub-species. I mostly work with locale specific NA and a few Mexican, Central and South American. Looking for any of the Mexican montane species. Oh yeah, one gator (the recycler) four pyromelana, one Trimorphodon and one Coleonyx. NO SMELLY MAMMALS (except for the mouse colony out in the barn). Don't you guys realize - mammals and birds are feeder animals only. Sorry!
 
I now have 2 male ball pythons (one 100% het for albino the other one %50 for het for albino), 2 normal females and two corn snakes, one male and one female. I have a male GSD dog and a female cat. I also raise mice and rats. As of right now, for the mice, I have 8 females and 2 males in mice and 6 of the females (maybe all of them) are pregnant. I have 3 female rats and one male. I have (along with my mom) own 2 miniature horse stallions and 2 mares and two adorible fillys. That is my collection. My mom and I raise, breed, train, and show the minis. Our smalles adult mini is only 29 inches tall and our tallest is 37 inches tall. We have only one mare who is gravid ;) pregnant (11 months to gestate)
 
howmany, how many

I, myself, have 24 snakes (12 ball pythons, 6 western hognose, 3 dumeril boas, 2 Brazilian rainbow boas and 1 albino California kingsnake) and, of course, a Red-Lored Amazon. The parrot is queen.
Now, since I live with and pay rent to a very good friend, and as part of the rent I help tend his critters - well, together we care for 130 snakes, 2 cats, 9 collared lizards, 3 Ackies (yellow), 5 giant day geckos, 2 Standings' geckos and her highness, Alexandra the Amazon parrot.
I'm tired.

ROFLMAO

Rob, you really are something! This is PRICELESS!!! Thanks!!!
 
LMAO, I never even noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out, kiote, I needed a laugh. :D I can't remember if I posted my list, and I'm too lazy to go back and look. And if I did post it, it has probably changed since then. So, here ya go:

2.2 BCI (I think, need to probe one female to make sure she's a she)
0.1 yellow & orange ATB
0.1 JCP
0.1 pueblan milk
0.0.1 WC garter (kept because it had a tail injury)
1.1 blue beauties
0.1 normal corn- my son's new snake
1.0 green tree monitor
2.3 cresties

probably adding soon (if the people who owe me money pay me!)

1.0 argie that I sold to make my ex happy- didn't work, now did it? The guy I sold him to has offered to sell him back but I have to come up with the money.
0.1 BCI from a NICE male that I've been wanting a daughter from, and a HUGE female

Not as big as some collections, but a house full for me because most of them live in my bedroom, which is not all that big. I am *so* ready for a bigger house, but I just can't afford it right now!
 
Shannon, I do understand about snakes in the bedroom and not having room. I have 18 snakes and 8 geckos in my bedroom. Then 1 snake & 2 geckos in the livingroom, and 3 snakes and 1 gecko in the diningroom. Then I have the snake in the basement and the 2 baby corns that are loose in the house "somewhere". I have another female boa coming next weekend and I have 2 cages now that I can clean and set up, just have to figure out which one to put her in and where to put it. The geckos just might end up in the kids rooms after all!
 
actually no! everyone asks me that but Ash is NOT named after bruce campbell's character in 'evil dead'. i named him that because when i got him he wasa kind of dirty grey....like ash. now he is tan....go figure. i do own the evil dead trilogy and its a great collection but honestly i didnt name my snake after the character.
 
Hey, I name my critters after characters from books & movies all the time - are you saying I'm lame and unoriginal? :raspberry
 
Okay, I'll play!!

I'm pretty much a boa girl
1.1 albino het snow (from Greg Riso)

Need to update LOL

I haven't posted here in ages. Since my last visit i have increased my animal family. Lets see, i now have a male veiled chameleon named Merlin and a male ball python named Jack to go along with my dog, 2 cats, 12 leos, 2 crested geckos and 4 african fattailed geckos. As much as i love all reptiles i'm now completely in love with ball pythons and will be adding more as soon as i can :)
