Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I've been away from the forum for a while so I decided to post some pics of what I am holding back and a few acquisitions I made this year.

First up - syspila

Female 1 - my pick of the litter

Female 2 - in a bit of a mood

Female 3 - was the runt of the litter but was the first to take full pinks on her own. Go figure!

Next up - temporalis - I needed a back up male so here he is

Some Jefferson Parish Louisiana milks - these are F1's!

male

female

Amherst county VA eastern milks - my male bred with my buddy Ryan Ferrell's yellow female. These are also F1's and took f/t pinks pretty easily. Piece of cake

male - showing a hint of yellow that the camera doesn't pick up really well

female

A McMullen county annulata produced by my friend John Fraser

A couple of Cosala sinaloans

Male

Eagles Nest alterna female

Locality gaigeae - coming soon from Jeff Hardwick - new blood in the US. Wooo Whooo!

I hope you enjoyed.

DNS Reptiles - Milk Snakes

Some nice looking animals there Dave but I've come to expect that from you. The Cosala are as usual real eye candy.

Congrats on the gaigeae... been wondering when the first from Mr. Hardwicks new line would appear... looking forward to seeing some pics of them... hint, hint, hint.

Super nice snakes there Dave, I really like the temporalis and the cosala sinaloans.

Awesome stuff as usuall Dave really like the pin striping on your first hold back syspila but absolutely love the runt num 3 syspila b e a utiful lil thing, has to be a southern ill or extreme eastern mo blood line. found some awesome syspila habitat and got permission to hunt in my county in Mo. going to be a verry good spot, I only had time to cherry pick a few rocks but the habitat goes on for miles like in western ks, which is very unique for mo, in mo its usually a lil bit here and a lil bit there, I am thinking I will get a few county records from here

these are a good sign

Which means ground snakes might occur there which would be a significant county record it is there habitat and I would bet money they are there.

Im just so excited about this habitat it will probably be my best find this fall lol

and heres a couple pics of some snakes I found this summer road cruising not triangulum but a verry close cousin

this one was insitu although I missed it because I wasted time taking this pic of it i am 90 percent this was a calligaster although it looked like a lyre snake to me when I first saw it lol

This one I dodged had just dropped my girls off at my dads and saw her in the road a quarter mile past the drive
