You don't have to, I already have one! :rofl: But I'd take another...lol. They're sweet & pretty little snakes, just a bit hard to feed. ...

I give you... the Texas Longnose Snake.

Look up pics of Texas Longnose snakes- it's like they slid against a building before their paint dried, so now they're striped. :D Similar colors,...

There's something almost uncanny about it, as if a morph of a ringneck snake with its coloration flipped mated with some kind of sand boa. Evidently...

Pretty isn't the only or even the best reason to save a species from extinction- it's how they function in the ecosystem, their value as it relates...

If the conservationists can't save them, I hope breeders can. They're too beautiful to lose to extinction.

Here a link to the paper. My eyes glazed over quickly, but I share for those of us more scientifically inclined.

Oh, I don't know? It won't be perching on branches, but I see a fair amount of any longnose snakes I've kept- they tend to be docile & not flighty...

Very true. I neglected to include this pic, also from the article. Being a burrower, I don't suppose it would make much of a display snake.

How cool. It seems to have a narrow, pointy face, rather like our Western & Texas Longnose snakes. And such COLOR!

Welcome, Simon! :snake: So glad to hear he's doing well with you- what a lucky find for you both.

He has a name! Simon. And he has eaten two f/t rat fuzzies for me, pooped once, and had a complete shed. Yay! I'm still working out the kinks with...

Do not leave a gap. That’s a great way to get a snake stuck and cooked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know the feeling. Still, I sure hope he doesn't get set back a year. ;)

I genuinely set the rat down for a minute and stared at him in sheer disappointment, like a parent who just saw their kid's low grades. :no:

So you figure he should have been called "Out!" after 3 strikes? :rofl: Poor snake, now he's gotta please the umpire. :D

This took him 10 strikes. 10. Strikes. :no:

Yes, but it's been mentioned on this forum before, & honestly, it's been around for a long time. I'm sure our vets know about it, even if they don't...

According to the link it tends to affect certain hot species the most, probably why I haven't heard of it until now.

How did you survive until now without central A/C? :O I'm glad you got that done. So many things in bloom here right now- when I stepped outside...

I love having seasons, 4 here in Connecticut, but Summer is up there. Most of my hobbies, outside of reptiles, are done in the summer; motorcycle...

Maybe he's meditating? ;) :D (I've only had one leo & don't recall any sleeping with eyes wide open.)

So I just was checking on Rex and he didn't move when he saw me like he normally does, and his eyes were open. I think he was asleep, but I've never...

:gj: You sure don't want your snakes to have ophidian (ie. "snake version") paramyxovirus. ...

Gave a call and the guy on the phone answered all the questions I had about the procedures. Ordered a small set of swabs so I can get the both of...

She's so adorable! But I thought she was a banana morph? :D Or was that just for special occasion, to see how the other morphs live?

That's my idea of a nice beach too- (that's why I said Kauai & not the "big island", which I happily skipped anyway). The CA beach I liked best was...
