Thank goodness for iCloud. It helped me to move this pic to resize it to post it. I recently received a parcel from zorro, who is a fine decent gent and mentor. In addition to the tessera pics that will follow when I take them, a surprise was at the bottom of the fedex box. This is Sibylla...

This is a fun thread, for congeniality and camaraderie, and for anyone and everyone. List your favorite quotes or sayings in life. All at once or as you recall them, one by one. No winners, no losers. No wrong answers. They can be political, apolitical, poetic, bawdy, caustic, religious...

New ruby-eyed green pit viper (Cryptelytrops rubeus) discovered. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/03/pictures/110328-new-ruby-eyed-pit-viper-species-found/ Can't get much greener than that, eh?

Being liberal is one thing, but the extreme of expecting everyone else to be as freely idealistic as ourselves...seems naive to me. For an oversimplified example, parents being too blindly liberal in raising their kids, can end up with their house burned down. Just because we agree to be noble...

John knows I like the red and yellow and diffused snakes, and has been very very kind in allowing me to purchase a 2009 1.1 pair of cayenne fire holdbacks he had. (In addition to many others I own from him...all top of the line.) I am so so proud of them. They are going to need very very...

Social evolution marches on. Every once in a while I am fascinated and pleased that in spite of politics, agendas, lobbyists, and parties,....the collective 'somebody' in Washington sneezes or stumps its toe...and gets something right. I've got several links, but I will first post in quotes the...

Help me with my Movie Bucket List, please. Ever since I was of a certain age, at which time I knew the difference between mainstream and the path I would be choosing through life, besides unconventional pets...I liked unconventional things. From 17 to 30 (ish), I had a circle of friends with...

I started to put this in Natural History/Field Observation...but that section does specify corn snakes. This National Geographic article is for the ecologist, population ecologist, and zoologist in all of us. We have all read about deliberately or accidentally introduced species (Australia and...

These two articles linked below, I found while reading the news this morning. They pretty much represent two extremes of a theme. Note : In 1985-90 when I was a 'research associate' in drugs-of-abuse testing,...I had a boss who was very modern in his thinking. He had a Ph.D. in...

Happy Birthday , Shane !!! Oops, sorry folks, about starting a duplicate thread. See Gene/DaGiant's original birthday thread and post there. http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103259 Thanks, Eric

I looked and did not see a perfect place for this thread, so here it is. With recent discussions I have read over the past couple of years regarding corn (and other) snake morphs, and the debates of the authenticity of their origiins,...I knew we had the technology, albeit cost prohibitive...

I think I'm in love. My inner 'Therian' has been awakened. (That's a pun, folks. Look it up.) Here's Lucy... But seriously, this is another major flagstone that almost completes the elaborate patio we now know as evolution. Biological genealogists have found Lucy's, Australopithecus...

I am a very clumsy and amateur photographer, but zorro (John F.) requested some pics from the last three snakes he sent me. They arrived safe and sound this last Wednesday, 19 May 2010. John is very kind, understanding, and generous with his experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone...

I saw this and thought it was fascinating, so thought I would share it. (There was a time when I wanted to be an archaeologist when I grew up. LOL.) To me, 2700 years ago is a long time. I can only try to imagine how pristine the americas looked before europeans landed, and before the word...

There is a great show on tonight on Louisiana Public Broadcasting,...a tribute to Lena Horne. She died a weak ago today, at 92 years old, and among the people we mention that were notable for their intellect, talent, or the parts they played in changing times...I just couldn't let her passing go...

Al and Tipper Gore, preparing for global warming and rising sea levels, have bought an $8.8 million seaside villa in the heart of earthquake country. Complete with fountains, six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Six fireplaces in southern California. Hahahah...

I thought this article was very interesting. It talks about the circuitous feedback mechanisms that tie emotions and facial expressions together. http://scienceblogs.com/neurophilosophy/2010/04/botox_may_diminish_the_experience_of_emotions.php

I majored in zoology because I thought maybe one day I might be able to work for National Geographic. But, alas, my dreams must be content with NatGeo news. They have a beautiful site...

I'm feeling out of the loop these days. Whatever happened to "We" and "Transparency"...??? "House may try to pass Senate healthcare bill -- without voting on it!" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/15/AR2010031503742_pf.html "WIRE: Government keeping MORE secrets..."...
