worms, milworms, insects, etc? Just curious. Who out there breeds Glossy's? Are they producing albino's yet?

/

Glossy snakes primarily eat lizards and small rodents. There are very few people breeding them. I saw an albino that someone was working with several years ago, but I've never seen any baby albino glossys for sale.

Here's a glossy I caught in the Las Vegas area.

They will never eat crickets. Just mice and lizards. You'll probably have better luck with mice.

Tim, that's a nice Glossy. Do you have any idea what Arizona elegans ssp it is? It looks like the male I caught out in Lancaster, CA which is in the range of A.e. candida (the Mojave Glossy). I'm looking for a female for him.

Thanks for the response. I've had this guy for four years now. When I first got him he ate pinks but as soon as I tried feeding him a fuzzy he quit on mice no matter how I presented it. Pink or fuzzy. Months went by with no success. I even offered a beer with one, but still nothing (only kidding). So he's been eating nothing but lizards ever since. It's a pain, but if that's all he'll eat, I'll do it. I've seen several at the pet shops over the years that were skin and bone, probably because they refused mice. I won't let mine get in that condition just because it's a pain to get lizards. Someone suggested trying a cricket so I thought I'd ask. Bye the way... is there a place that sells lizards in bulk like with mice? If yes, who?

I'd heard that someone was working with albino's I just didn't know who.

I believe LLL Reptiles has bulk feeder Anoles. Have you tried scenting the mouse with a lizard?

Will they eat Anoles? I know that mine didn't take anything but side blotched lizards there for awhile, then started including whiptails later.

Honestly, I'm not sure if they will. They are the only bulk feeder lizards I've ever seen advertised, though.

Yeah, I heard the same thing about somebody who'd bread Glossies and produced an albino morph. My friend sent me a pic of it. What locale is your Glossy from? What ssp?

Yes, I've tried scenting a mouse with a lizard. No go.

I got it in El Paso Texas, so I guess it was from Texas, probably Hudsbeth county where a lot of snakes are collected for the pet trade. He sure is a neat snake. I've even taken him the repitle meetings we used to have around here.

Was that the name of someone with albino's?

np

I caught it near Las Vegas, which would make it a Desert Glossy.
Here's another that I caught on the same night, on the same road, while roadhunting.
