Searching for a website

gerryg Jan 18, 2011 05:35 PM

A recent post over in the Kingsnake forum has renewed my effort to find a website a came across back when I first got my Black Milk. I had it bookmarked once but due to serious hard drive issues I lost the bookmark... and everything else

The owner of the site had a table/spread sheet type layout of many snakes commonly kept in captivity along with temperature, humidity and other basic information on maintaining that species... any of you familiar with it? I can no longer locate it. The site was by no means definitive nor anywhere near complete but I thought the idea and attempt admirable.

As a side note... care sheets have been mentioned here before... often not very favorably but... with all the knowledge available here on such a wide variety of species has anyone, or ones, every attempted to produce and make available care sheets of snakes species they are most familiar/expert with?

Since acquiring my L.t.polyzona I've looked at a few books available at local pet shops and have yet to see anything that lays out any specifics for their basic requirements, nor have I been able to find the info on the web... probably find (or not find in this case) the same thing for the other not so commonly kept milks.

Polyzona are kept the same as hondurans as they are pretty much the same thing.For the most part just about all the latin milks fall under the same requirments excpt black milks and andeans.
They like it a bit cooler otherwise thrive just the same as the rest.
Sorry, can't help with the site? it doesn't ring a bell with me.

That's how I keep them... when I couldn't find any cut and dry answers I simply checked average temps and humidity levels for the locale they came from and matched that... should have done that in the first place and saved myself the search time... of course I could simply have excepted what Scott told me but I just can't help myself from doing a little searching of my own.
