This thread is intended to act as a clearing house for suggestions on what trade name is best used to describe consnakes homozygous for Anery A and Diffused (also known as Bloodred). Much discussion of late has been focused on the propriety of referring to them as "granites" when a different...

Does anyone have any experience keeping alligator lizards? I'm getting a pair of California alligator lizards (Elgaria multicarinata multicarinata) in a month, and it's difficult to find information about keeping them. :shrugs: They're common from Baja California to British Columbia, but the...

Would it be possible to start a forum dealing with all other North American snakes? Many corn snake hobbyists also keep other North American snakes, whether they be rat snakes, king snakes, gopher snakes or milk snakes. The other widely known websites, IMO, either suffer from too many scammers...

There seem to be dozens of pattern names bandied about, but not a lot of agreement on what the names mean. A few are simple enough, like "stripe" or "diffuse". But what about, "zigzag" and "Aztec"? Is Aztec a subset of zigzag? What differentiates the two? The varieties of motley alone make...

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I enjoy the challenge of working with hatchlings that don't want to eat on their own. I've been very successful in converting those I have to feeding on their own, with no apparent ill effects from their days of being force-fed. I've let the breeders with whom I...

These are some of the hatchlings I purchased from Susan. They arrived yesterday afternoon, and each was even more beautiful in person than their pictures. Here are their hatch photos taken by Susan, and I'll post some updated ones after they've eaten and shed a couple times. First is Holiday...

My 2.0 "I won't eat until I get some nookie" snakes finally started eating last week. Today was their second consecutive feeding...Woowhoo! Yeah, I'm easily excited :crazy02:

I have two young female rats, not breeders, just pets. Missa is obviously black-hooded, but I'm not sure what color Nell, the lighter rat, is. The breeder called her Siamese, but her color is so pale, I don't see any Himalayan markings, save the darker coloring toward the rear. Either pink...

My creamsicle male, Lucius, has been storming around his viv for the past month. I figured he was probably feeling randy, but wasn't planning to breed anyone yet. Then I noticed that Edie, an amel, had been cruising her viv in much the same manner. When I went to pull her out of the viv for...

I recently purchased a nice anery het motley poss het amel + charcoal from Red Mama. BTW, Joni is lots of fun to chat with, even standing in the pet store parking lot :) My question is about the father of my anery. He is motley, but there seems to be a lot more than that going on. I would...

For a while now, I've been trying to collect a full listing of common or trade names for multiple morph combinations. I've found many, but others I've never seen referenced. This is a list of all two and three morph combinations, excluding pattern morphs, with what I think are the trade names...

Is there a system in place to remove ads once the listed items are no longer available? Each time I go through the ads, I find listings that just say "SOLD" as the last response. Some listings are two months old, but haven't had activity for a month or more. If the animal is still available...

My two hatchlings arrived this morning, and I realized after they were here that I HATED the shoebox quarters I had readied for them. I didn't want to house them together in the 10gal aquarium, so I subdivided it. I still need to add some branches for them to play on, as well as a couple of...

What is your opinion of Britta/Pur water filtering pitchers? I use a Pur pitcher for my own drinking water, and use the same, allowed to warm to room temp, for my snake. What is your opinion on re-freezing pinkies a snake has refused? I was afraid that the pinkie would become freezer-burnt...

Hi, all. My name is Lee, and my friend here is Lucius. He is about six-feet long, of unknown age or gender, and I've had him over a year. He is a sweetheart of a corn snake, just as gentle as a kitten. I am his second owner, the previous owner having purchased him at #2 pencil size. I have...
