Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Oh man, has it been a long time since I posted in these forums & then under my given name.. Matthew Scruggs.
Anyway, I'm back in business with a new ( & the first ratsnake in many much longer years. TOOO Long.) interest. I just adopted a baby Baird's ratsnake. I don't think I'm going to regret it. Anyway, the poor thing was lanquishing at PetCo for months. I finally gave in & got it at reduced price. I DEFINITELY like this snake. I'm getting the bug again. Is there any hope? LOL

Just my hello.
Sincerely,
Matthew

Thanks,

I opened my mouth and out flowed a melody black.

My aim is solely to corrupt Frank. As a fellow member of the congregation it's your obligation to do your share brother. lol

Some Off and On Topic corruption is in order since he has been out all together..he should look at these...a sample of my collection...with some recently given to a friend...(the larger pythons)

Most are with my cell phone...

a peace of sanity to stay away perhaps ?

one to get the how many enclosures can I fit in this space mentality going...surely he can get more... I am an amateur!!!

(evil smile)

What the heck is your food budget??!!! I'm happy one of my current limbless friends is happy with earthworms!
Still, corrupting me is effort-less. Those with long memories remember I was a charter member of the Venoumus forum as well! <G>

Matthew
That looked like a Retic bite, was it?

thank goodness for rodent pro and that an african rock python bite.

Well, certainly it was the bite of a LARGE python! Maybe you are lucky it wasn't a Retic!

I have been bit many times by pythons over 14 feet. One 16 footer laid a hurting on my arm once. OUCH!!!

Frank,

I've seen some pretty nasty pics of bites from big Retics. Look like those people tangled with a Pit Bull.
Me, I don't have the room for the Big Guys ANYWAY.

Matthew

I once saw a pic of Dave Barker's leg...OUCH...

Having kept them for about 20 years the bites where few and far betweeen, but it does happen occassionaly.

Frank,

Yep, that is one that really looked like a nasty dog bite. I've personally had a couple bad dog bites myself & the bruising in Barker's photo sure was deja' vu!
Anyway, back to the Elaphe proper, you or Colubridman have any babies of those Blue beauty snakes. Man I want one of those! Always have.
And is that a Leucistic Linderheim's ( Texas ) Ratsnake? Spectacular animal!

Sincerely,
Matthew

I do not have any beauty snakes...colubridman has some though.

Yeah those are texas rat snakes...if you look I have a post with some babies from this year that just hatched!!!

They are Very beautiful snakes!!!!

Frank,

I'll say. They look 10 times more beautiful than any albino snake of any species. Its hard to believe how pure the color is on the leucistic!

Matthew

Hah,
I never broke my addiction. Heck, I've been lurking about for years but the newer security measures plus AOL's glitches always proved a headache.
Still, I had stayed away from the Ratsnakes, until NOW...

Sincerely,
Matthew

Welcome to crack head......I mean rat head country.

Hey,

We all have our addictions, right?

Matthew

Randy,

You wouldn't happen to have any babies of those or especially the Blue Beauties, would you?

Matthew
