Hi,
Heres a pic of some long-nosed snakes hatching. When this pic was taken about 2 weeks ago there was still 1 egg left to hatch and it ened up being the nicest striped one of them all, there is 2 striped ones on there, ones only a partial striped one though, I've never seen any long-nosed snakes like these before, and i thought you guys would like to see them, as you dont see too many of these captive bred. Well enjoy the pic,

Rich Gassaway had some pics of some wc longnosed snakes from southern Arizona that his cousin caught. They were cool too.

Hey Kerby,
Yeah, I like them. They kind of remind me like baby pyros, they are similar to get started, with feeding techniques anyways. They are kind of a underated snake I think, theres so much varibility in them, in that one clutch i had 2 black and whites, looked like mini cal.kings. 1 with nice red on the lateral scales. And 3 with stripind and no red. They remind me of thayeri. Well I'll talk to you later,

Very cool snakes. I did not know anyone bred those. I do think they look very variable within the clutch. I like variability and that is why I breed Thayeri and California Kings. Where do I get a caresheet and some of those cool little snakes? Email me if you would like. I really like them.

Cool,

Didn't see your post until just now...

At the Arizona-Sonora desert museum in the the late 80's we hatched a clutch of three long-nosed snakes from a wild caught female that was brought to us. One was a perfect "clarus" phase, one was a typical "lecontei tesselatus" phase and the third was a completely dorsal striped "clarus" phase.

All were photographed and then the photos went?????

Thanks for the nice photos.
