http://crzysnekldy.weebly.com/blog/the-eastern-hognose-saga-of-2015 I wish I had time to post this here, but I'm at the library so I hope a link will do!

I don't have a lot of time to post since we disconnected our wifi at home (I'm at the library now), but ... I thought I'd post my latest snake. I'm pretty happy about owning him, like my snake collection is finally complete. I know you are all laughing at that, but hey, I feel like it! I love...

They aren't technically brothers, but they are both boas! Olaf is March 2014 and Watson is April 2014. Olaf is usually 20 grams ahead of Watson in growth. They are getting close to 300 grams now! For those who don't know, Watson is a sunset boa (super hypo hog island) and Olaf is a Kahl...

I really do want to keep up with individual posts here on cs.com - but I just can't do it all with the resizing of pics, super slow internet, posting here, iHerp, facebook, etc. I decided that my reptile blog will be my Herp Journal, and I will make an effort to keep THAT updated, and just post...

The first 2 are of Casey and the last picture is of my two little guys, Olaf and Watson. I realized that I have had Casey for one year (yesterday, March 1st). I am so glad I was able to get her from someone on CL! She's about 4 years old (born spring 2011). Olaf will be 1 year old on March...

Hello, forum where it all began! I hadn't been checking in as much toward the end of summer. I found out I was expecting a baby, ended up miscarrying, found out I needed surgery for a very large cyst on my ovary, had the surgery and the cyst was thankfully not cancerous, and by this time it...

I have a friend who is in Savannah right now, and he asked if I could see about good places for him to herp during the short time he'll be there. PM me if you want to know specifically where he is, if that would help tailor the suggestions. He's from my area, so would like to find some...

Lucifer celebrated his 2nd birthday a few days ago, with a mouse of course. That was 4 days ago, so today he came out for pictures. Watching him change has been so much fun!

I picked up an adorable sunset (super hypo Hog Island) boa from Sonja K. Reptiles last week. He has been settling in and just had his first feed here. He's currently nameless, too. The first two pictures are from his first day here. The second two are Sonja's, one before his first shed and...

Last Friday my son found this little guy under the same plastic sheet that he's been finding hognose and garter snakes. This guy was feisty and bit my 6 year old daughter and made her cry (but she got over it!) and he also bit me whe I moved my hand near the side of him, right between my...

I pretty much know now that when I hear shouting and yelling, one of my children have found a snake or other amazing creature. When we have company and this happens, my guests assume a child has lost a limb or someone has drowned in the pond, but I hurry to put on my shoes as I grab the camera...

I don't normally take both corn snakes out for pictures at the same time, and now I know why, because it's hard to get one to cooperate, much less two of them! But I did think these 2 pictures were cute. It was like they were communicating an escape plan! Monty and Lucifer are almost 2 years...

A few days ago, my son was doing his math with me at the kitchen island. The weather was very nice, and he was just about done with a difficult lesson, and he asked if we could take a break to look for a few snakes. I said sure and we headed out with our mud boots and snake hooks, to a spot...

Nearly every day that it is nice out, my kids are finding all sorts of things at our new property; it's so awesome! They are so captivated by anything, whether it is a common garter or spring peeper, or something more unusual like a crayfish or an eastern hognose. The little hoggies in the...

We found this little guy yesterday. He put up quite a fight for my brother, and then played dead, but he was fantastic for pictures. I have lost count of all the eastern hognose we have found here, but this guy is probably #14 or so. This is the 3rd tiny baby hognose we have found. They...
