I wouldn't say I enjoy frustration. I enjoy a pleasant surprise if it is an upgrade to what I expected. I do not enjoy a surprise if it is a...

But clearly you love the frustration or you wouldn't be breeding snakes? :D

Photo #538 BP = Orange Ghost/Het VPI Axanthic Tiger Eye from South Africa-unlike other batches I've tumbled...my latest batch of rough was very...

My second hatchling from Clutch #11 is starting to come out: No No No No No No--This is wrong! :omg: Even *IF* the two parents were both Het...

Thank you for pictures. The show looked pretty cool. I did a little digging on the Kukri. A big nope for me. They need high humidity, have...

Good on getting the humidity down and try to get it below 60%, certainly when he is not in shed. You might be correct about the waste being an...

Higher than I’d like it to be, but it’s dropping and I checked him for RI symptoms last night.

How's the humidity? Lower, I hope.

Okay so he has not shed. I think I know why he’s been active though. He’s a very clean snake and he doesn’t like to be in hides that have been pooped...

My first hatchling from clutch #11 has came out. Cross: Leopard/Pastel/100% Het VPI Axanthic/100% Het Orange Ghost x Spider/Orange Ghost/100% Het...

Back in the day...not that long ago it seems :oops: Yes, the shows were cash only. I have fond memories of bringing only a set amount of cash in...

Since a good thread about shows has been started, and just speaking for myself in this area, I've wondered and noticed really that shows/conventions...

Photo #537 BP = Pastel/Het VPI Axanthic/Het Orange Ghost, assorted stones. Note: Due to the level of interest in my Clutch #11 hatchling...I...

I'm afraid it's a no-go, and I didn't even mention the retching stench. It was the 8 foot enclosure. They say you can get by with a 6 foot, but I'm...

Just ask the seller if they'll throw in some nose plugs. I'm sure you can make a deal. I was going to suggest getting a "corpse flower" plant...

Fine. You talked me into it. I'll just have to run it by my wife. In the interest of full disclosure, I'll have to mention the gag-inducing stink,...

These are some great observations on the variety of expo experiences that you can't get from online discussions and transactions. Interesting...

Well, I vote you should get one, & then give us a thread on raising it. It is interesting to watch snakes change appearance as they grow- I like...

Nothing, but appearance was enough. Particularly, when they start off looking like this: .

A late friend of mine had one (years ago)- he liked the oddball & difficult snakes (but he stopped at rattlebrats, he left those to me). If I was...

Yes, he was selling them. So, Ok, maybe there was some salesmanship there. I don't recall him, at any point, using the adjective "stinking" to...

Re Chinese king snake (Elaphe Carinata)- you really want a snake that can reach 8' long & is unaffectionately known as a "Stinking Goddess"? :rofl:...

A couple more fun notes from the expo: I got to handle an Angolan python. Their scales weren't as strongly keeled as I had expected. He had a...

Photo #536 Ball Python = Pastel/Het VPI Axanthic/Het Orange Ghost Stones = Jasp-Agate from Oregon, USA--they actually have a pink hue that the...

Yeah, I'll take a pass on the slashing bites that require stitches to close. I'll stick with my pin pricks. I'll pass on the w/c burrowing...

I would imagine that their Rhino rat snakes were w/c imported "back in the day"- that would make health issues likely & a real challenge. Surely...

I still wouldn't want even a pair of Kukris for that or any price. I'm sure someone will though. :rolleye2: Too bad about the Calibar being...

Great photos, that was a lot of tricky lighting there! :) I was thinking about getting Rhino Rat Snakes back in the day, but a zookeeper at the...
