2012 want list

HeavenHell Jun 19, 2012 07:15 PM

Just wondering what's on your 2012 want list.

I'll be looking for a nice eastern milk snake and I'm always on the hunt for unusual thayeri or alterna.

honestly, nothing. I have enough snakes, and a kid on the way. So I'm kind of not acquiring anything for a while now.

As many of you know, I was not going to breed any snakes this season, but my snakes had other plans.

Mine has stuck around for 20. I guess we're doing something right?

Yes Mike, one does have a greenish tint to it. There is a great amount of variability in these guys. All of those were found within a 5 mile range.

I didn't know you had an albino Joe? Is that wild Caught? If you mentioned it before, I apologize my memory sucks! I remember a girl finding one in her yard a while back, but that was it. What an awesome find!

>>I like eastern milk.

eastern milks were THE snake for me to catch when i was a kid. i had caught several that were what i was told at the time, anerythristic. I was like aner what? the guy was one of the first local herpers, he bought them from me for $5.

30 plus years ago, i wish i had known what was on the horizon! at least the memory and experience were priceless. and i still love eastern milks.

1.1 pure locality sinaloans (possibly already secured)
1.1 locality grey bands (not sure of the specifics yet)
more boaphile cages (i love them)

gerryg Jun 20, 2012 03:23 PM

2.2 L.t. micropholis

I'm assuming of course the mates to my abnorma and hondurensis are already a done deal.

Gerry

AaronBayer Jun 20, 2012 04:16 PM

I like the way you think.

I too plan on getting pairs of pure/locality CA and SA milks over the next few years. hopefully some of the less common ones... i like being a little different.

good luck on ecuadorians. i don't think i've ever even seen a pure one for sale.

gerryg Jun 21, 2012 04:07 AM

I've lucked out big time with the SA and CA milks, managing to get locality specific and "real deal" polyzona, abnorma, hondurensis and stuarti. All great little animals, you will enjoy any of those once you get them.

The micropholis are just a pipe dream... if anyone has them in this country or Europe they are keeping very quite about it! Someday perhaps.
