    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....

My "Rare" Venomous Snakes

Law of priority says Python reticulatus is the retculated python. Various subgeneric names have little value, other than to cause confusion in scientific studies.
 
Here is my Acanthophis sp."Call her whatever you like" feeding on a small adult mouse.



I may consider breeding her this season...

Yasin!!

Quit it with those gorgeous pictures!!
You're going to make my homeowners insurance go up again! I got out of hots due to the expense, and you're making me regret it.

(In all seriousness, you're a great photographer and I love your collection. )
 
Muhammed Yasin Cakmak.....Nice collection!!! Hope alls well in Turkey! I see you on Face Book.....Now I've connected the two!

Hey Keith, I am not on facebook so now I wonder if somebody opened an account using my credentials. I remember you though as I bought a very nice water monitor from you guys in 2004.

Yasin!!

Well guys, time to go out and buy the latest Cogger book as he uses all those allegedly terrible Hoser snake names! Better yet, he even tells Wuster and Kaiser and their idiot plans to go take a running jump to oblivion!
Meanwhile I have got to go and do what I do most weekends and that is valuable reptile show education in Melbourne as well as educational kids parties to make sure that the next generation of children likes reptiles like I do as seen here http://www.snakebusters.com.au/kp4.htm
Then I have to deal with yet more baby snakes from beautiful venomoid parents.

i like to look at venomous snakes like these beautiful animals and shots, same time my spine is straightening and telling me to get the heck out of dodge looking at these shots (same response when i take a peek at the living thing in the flesh when i'm at a expo)
 
Here is the Crotalus d. unicolor eating a large food item for a change:

Beautiful snakes. I had to go watch a few of your videos after seeing this thread. I thoroughly enjoyed your video on tease feeding over force feeding. How long would you typically attempt tease feeding over force feeding? Like x amount of minutes over x amount of days.
