Hello everyone,Just wondering if anybody out there other than Tony D is working with Coastals , I live in So Md and have had that love hate relationship with Coastals for the last twenty five years and every time I field collect one of these guys I find myself in a pinch should i try to establish a breeding group or leave it alone. The habitat is definitly going to be non existent for these guys(at least in So Md) in the near future and i would hate to see these guys be just forgotten about and i would like to know what kind of interest there is out there even though many dont even consider them a valid species , but everytime i find one of these guys it makes me wonder should i hold on to them and establish a breeding group or not? any input is appreciated,Sean.

Yeah, i will post a picture of this last coastal its been a while since ive posted any pics on this forum i actually think the last pic i posted was a coastal i had found under a differant user name but i will figure it out and get a pic on here.
I am working with coastals and I know there are several others as well. They are one of my favorite ssp of triangulum. I encourge you to work with them if you enjoy them.
I have pictures of the ones I have on my website.
In April I got 19 eggs from my St. Mary's Coastal. Over the weekend 14 of the 19 hatched. Once they are eating they will be for sale. Attached are pics of the parents. First pic is the female and the second the male. The female is about 34 inches long and the male slightly smaller. I have some pics of them hatching which I will post as soon as I can put them on my computer.

Quite a few are working with them. I'm moving my hypos out and looking to keep a single pair of classic St. Mary's. I have a line on some F1's which I hope pans out.

Hi, everyone, just wondering if any of you coastal enthusists out there will be attending the show in Hampton Rds Va this Sunday, Would like to meet some of you guys and Tony if your there see if your memory will serve you well and you remember me from N.I.H. years ago! Sean.
How many have you actually found in Southern Maryland and how frequently do you find them? Not interested in localities--just curious. I've been looking for the little bastards in Maryland for the better part of the last four years with no success.
