    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....

I have been searching high and low for this species here in the U.S. they are so prevelent in India and many parts of asia but I have found none here in the states. I know there is much debatA about the taxonomical classification of rat snakes and I may be using thew wrong genus name but this is all I can find on the species.

I would appreciate any info on this species and especially any info on who may be working with them here as I am very very interested.

Thanks!

Jay
 
Any information you need about ptyas just send me a message. I have books of information from india, indonesia, china, and of course from my own studies here in the states. I have a ptyas.
 
hello fellow ptyas fans :wavey: let me know if anyone wants to throw in together on a group import purchase. I'm willing to send money. We need to start a steady breeding colony in the states.
 
My friend breeds them in Surabaya. Very neat snakes. I have some photos of my ptyas on my facebook. Next time you wanna do a group import just message or call me. If you have the money he also breeds albino ptyas mucosas.
