We all love ratsnakes. This is why we're here, but, I'm sure many of us are not limited to ratsnakes, or even snakes for that matter. So, show us some of the prize animals in your collection. Here's just a few of mine.

I have only

I mostly like snakes that make good pets. My second favorite group is the kingsnakes. Eastern milksnakes make good subjects and this one reminds me of a Miami corn...

I also dabble with common kings and mtn. kings. Although I have a pair of CA mtn. kings and variable kings at this time, I like the AZ mtn. king and Cali kings the best. Here's an intergrade desert x Mex king that I worked with for awhile...

Most of the non-ratsnakes I work with are just in the field. I spend a lot of time studying and photographing massasaugas, but don't ever keep them in captivity, or any other ven. Here's a nice light one from last summer...

I also work with garter snakes a lot, sometimes keeping one or two in my collection for a summer. Here's a Butler's garter that's living on our property...

Another reason I like for keeping certain snakes is that they are intersting for other reasons besides pets. That's why I keep some exotics, like taeniura and mandarina.

I'm starting to develop an interest in the snakes of the Southwestern U.S. One of the ones I've studied a little and plan to keep once we move to AZ in a few yrs. is the lyre snake. That means I might start getting into the rear-fanged snakes. Here's one I brought back to study for a couple days and photo...

There are many other interesting snakes in the Southwest, as well as lizards, chelonians, etc. I have lots of pics, but none of these animals in my collection, however.

I will not show my corns since they are rat snakes and I post pictures on a regular basis on the corn snake forum.

And since this is a reptile forum I will refrain from pictures of my 5 dogs and now 8 cats ( had to put one to sleep a couple of months ago)

so that leaves my beardies and turtles. I don't have any pictures of my turtles available to post so here are my beardies.

My latest non-ratsnake acquisition, Haitian Dwarf Boas (Tropidophis haetianus). This a picture of my male. They are fascinating animals.
Please excuse the newspaper, they're still in quarantine.

Sacha, excellent. How big are they supposed to get?

TC

Tropidophis haetianus max out at around 2 feet. I have an adult pair and the larger one (the female) is about 22 inches long (and I think she may be gravid ). I have never worked with live bearers so this could be interesting.
