Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi, my name is Atsushi Koyama and I'm a herp enthusiast in Japan.

Herpetology, the liking of reptiles and amphibians, is still very minor in Japan, and many enthusiasts like myself is always looking for more information available in Japanese.

Some may know, that quality of information available in Japanese is very low when compared to information I can get in English.(obviously english speaking people has much head start in this field, so...)

So, I thought it would be great to make my own website with such valuable, quality information in Japanese, starting from Kingsnakes. (I used to own a mountain, a banana. Now I only own a 50/50 desert banded(gave away the two))

What I want you to help me out with, is the pictures of different spicies and morphs.
It is impossible to collect all species with different morphs just by myself,

so, please post "ANY" picture of your kingsnake that I could use for the site. (nothing from google image please )
All photos will receive a proper citing, so tell me your name and if you have one, your website address.

Thanks in advance!

That's a coincidence because a lot of my Cal kings end up there.
Contact me for photos.

congrats on the site and welcome aboard! I will share some pics if you will! Here's is a Brewster county. Texas splendida, a splendida from Arizona, and a Calhoun county, Texas holbrooki.

Hi antelope,

Your pics look awesome.
From your photo, the Texas Splendida looks quite different from Arizona splendida.
For some years, I've been telling people about reptiles but I always think that a single photo can tell so much more.

Here's a pic of a japanese viper- "Mamushi"
This one lives pretty much all over Japan except the southern islands. They are most encountered in bamboo bushes.
Enjoy!

Het Atsushi!,Welcome to kingsnake.com,here's a couple of pics for you,feel free to use them.My name is Jeff Cochran.The first is my baby splendida,then a male holbrooki & a pyro

Hi cochran,
Very vivid photos!
The colors on your holbrooki and pyro are great.
The snakes in Japan don't have colors like these.

This is a Japanese Cornsnake called "Ao-Daisyo" meaning Green Master.
(juveniles have banded patterns)
In older days of Japan, Green was called "Ao" which really means Blue in current days. (Green is "Midori"
So when you come to Japan, sometimes older people say, "The signal is blue" really meaning "The signal is green"

Enjoy!
