Random snake photos thread ...

Please, for the sake of all that we love in this hobby/industry/lifestyle, stop all engagement and support of any and all of those that are doing wrong or irresponsible within our realm. I cannot stress this enough. Your very rights as keepers of these magnificent animals could be imperiled by the self absorbed egotistical mindset of individuals such as these.

We are in the golden age of reptile keeping and we are almost certain to see its simultaneous collapse as a result of the exposure we have let these clowns generate.

I've never been a fan of Barczyck, & have no idea who Brewer is, so I wasn't aware of their antics at all. It's obviously not the stuff I search for, so thanks for pointing this out. Incidentally, this would make a superb thread topic & maybe even a "sticky"-hint, hint. ;) Preserving what we have in herpetoculture without "over-sharing" or giving a false impression to the already doubting & impressionable public- that can literally come back to bite us.

When I did a quick search, I found more pics besides this ("high blue" morph), & even a purple one, so I guess they're real, even if they do look fake, lol.
Also rare & with price tags to match, I'm sure. Stunning color to see on a snake, that's for sure. (It's a "green tree python" for anyone that doesn't know.)

So are you putting this on your wish list, Zincubus?

Na .... I’m more or less done now ... I’ve kept all the snakes I wanted to experience over the years ... I started with Corns moved into Kings and Royals ...and I’ve ended on Corns , Kings and Royals ... and a Hybrid:)

In between all manner of critters including Burms , Retics , Boas , Woma pythons, Garters , all manner of Rat snakes and even a very beautiful but rather nervous and reclusive Cape File snake ... have passed through my hands .

It looks like this particular picture is 'shopped (look at the eyes), but the actual blue gtp's are much more attractive, I think.

You're probably right, I didn't really look close at the eyes in this one until just now, & came up with similar blue ones when I searched- enough to know they can exist, but I agree, I saw some more stunning than even this. One with a bit of green in the blue, plus freckles...and some with white & robin's egg blue- just stunning. And one in deep purple even- I had no idea that was even possible.

:O Wow, I knew snakes were evil ;) but this is just incredible- I didn't know any of them would dig like that- with good aim too! Mine just defecate in their water bowls...:rofl:

Any thoughts what kind of snakes these were ??

I sure don't study snake anatomy, so I'll probably be miles off the right answer, but just based on general body shape, I'll guess a bull snake & a Gaboon viper?

My first thought (for the first one) was actually a rat snake, but it seems a little heavier-bodied than most rat snakes, so that's why I guessed "bull snake". I had a little more confidence about the second one, just by the proportions.

Not happening. I'd have to change it manually on each & every post! :O Kindly consider more carefully before you post or choose a title.

Besides, videos are not much of a stretch from "photos".

Me too. Changing the initial post doesn't change it on the subsequent posts.

Just so you know, that previous thread that I split? This one >>> https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...a&goto=newpost

I retitled it slightly & put it in the proper forum, but I ALSO had to change the thread title for EACH & every post, otherwise the previous (now incorrect) thread title showed, making it confusing.

It would be nice if changing the initial thread title automatically changed it for all the subsequent posts, but it doesn't.

What color are they calling that top one, Zincubus? Most unusual- almost lavender?

Are you talking about his heat-sensing pits? But I guess you'll find out if some playground bully tries calling him "four eyes"? :rofl:

"My, what a soft loving gaze you've got..." said no one ever (!) to this guy! :D

He looks like he needs someone to pinch his cheek & say "You're Mona's kid, aren't you?" :rolleyes:

This guy had better steer clear of fruit baskets if he knows what's good for him. He could find himself with chocolate sauce in a bowl of ice cream! :O

Mummified dawg OR a Royal Python shed ?

You decide. :)

Found a new species recently! A Queensnake (Regina septemvittata)

I also found two juvenile / hatchling? Northern Brown Water snakes (Nerodia sipedon). They were sooo tiny

https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...362&height=643

Wow, they're so cool! Lucky finds for you- I've only seen a Queensnake in pictures, plus you got a bonus of 2 young water snakes- I'm jealous! :D
