I allowed my pet mice to have a litter of pinkies that I intend to feed to some hatchlings i'm working with. The babies were born last night. I'm having this twinge of guilt about taking the babies from their mom. Im sure im assigning human emotions to the mice, but just worry that she will be...

I was just wondering, particularly from my fellow Coloradans, if you know what the licensing requirements for breeding corns is in Colorado. I've done quite a bit of internet searching and can't come up with anything conclusive. I'm not sure if it's regulated by DOW or Dept of Ag or maybe not...

I had a couple snakes that I sold a few months ago. One was an adult sunglow motley and the other a yearling amel. I sold them with complete setups, a months worth of food and offered unlimited advice and support. The gal that bought them was younger, but seemed like a good home. My snow...

A male 2009 high orange amel in trade for a month old female caramel hatchling. Sound like a fair trade?

A friend gifted me with a three year old corn snake who was supposed to be an unsexed blizzard on the chunky side. I quickly suspected that she is actually a snow and that she is gravid. I would love for someone to tell me I am wrong on both counts! What do ya think?

Had to stop by the store I usually avoid to pick up a feeder tonight. My son drug me over to see their viv full of adult corns. See why I avoid this store! Let's see, aside from the obvious multiple snakes housed together, I see a nice looking diffused sheathed in his own unshed skin, a big...

There's no competing with all these cute hatchling pics, but I wanted to show off the charcoal I picked up from Colorado Corns last month (thanks John!). She is freshly shed and it brought out a tiny bit of yellow on her neck and the cutest yellow spot on the tip of her nose. She's my dream...

Cresteds seem to be pretty popular little critters. I don't know anything about them. I would love to hear from you crestie lovers about why they are so great. Or maybe you shouldn't tell me because then I'll be tempted to get one....nah, go ahead and tell me.

Ugh. So I handled my little lavender "rescue" today for the first time. She is SO skinny. I could feel each of her little ribs as she moved through my hands and her spine is clearly visible. I'm disgusted by the reptile store for having/selling snakes that thin, but not surprised and should...

I was reading in my corn morph guide today about breeding projects. I can't imagine how exciting it is to discover a potential new morph/trait then work on proving it out. I'm curious what breeding projects our board members have going on? I know there's got to be some cool stuff in the...

These are two little classics I picked up from a local breeder last winter. The male in March 2011. This little guy escaped shortly after we got him and was missing for several months. This picture was taken about a week after he was found. He was super thin and dehydrated, but seems to have...

It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, great for starting a progression thread or two. These three lavenders came from Lars (gelshark) and are a little ornery, but definitely beautiful. Lots of pink is coming through. This is the male in March 2011 And the male after a few sheds May 2011 (in the...

I picked this little lady up cheap from the local reptile store today because I loved her color. Not the best place to buy from, but I have room to quarantine her so I thought I would take the gamble. She definitely needs some weight put on her. Anyhow, she was in a tank with several other...

I have a small colony of meal worms that I keep for my chickens and beardie. I've been noticing lately quite a few beetles with malformed or missing wings. I'm not sure if this is a problem with temps, humidity or if they are cannibalizing each other. Their temps are mid-70's during the...

My pretty girl exploring my not so pretty lawn. The classic is hard to beat in the beauty department.

I'm a little slow getting pictures up, but I was blessed to receive this nice little Easter present. It's an '11 male purple phase dusty hognose. I've been wanting one forever and am head over heels for this little guy already.

This is a picture I pulled off Craigslist. I love the unusual pattern on this snakes back. I'm curious what color morph he is. Or could he actually be a creamsicle?

Zade is deep in the blue and I woke up to find this laying next to her. I can only assume it's a slug, but it is much smaller than I expected an egg to be. I think she has more to go, but will be hugely surprised if we see anything but slugs since I don't think she's been successfully bred...

I'm a little baffled here. Zade, my 8 year old corn, who was a "male" up until a month ago seems to be ovulating or carrying eggs without having been bred. I believe I've heard that this is possible, but why this year after 7 years of nothing? The only thing I can think of is that we have...

I've decided to treat myself to a little hognose. A quick search for breeders brought up a lot of reference to the leucistic hognose drama that occurred here in Colorado, but no breeders. I have seen them offered at our reptile expo before so am assuming they are legal here, but does anyone...
