Reptile & Amphibian Forums

What are we supposed to post here???????? LOL!!!!!!!
The subforums just about cover everything that we post about here on this forum.

Good point, John. Sometimes I think we can be over-organized.

Question Why are those two snakes two different shades? Is one a mutation and the other, not? You shouldn't be distracting me with outrageously gorgeous ophidians when I'm trying to concentrate on my own post, LOL !!

Terry,
The lighter colored one is a striped Blue eyed Blonde caliking and the other is a hypo caliking het for Blue Eyed Blonde.
I know they are both Getula, Should I be posting them here? LOL!!
They are in hibernation now and should make some nice Blonde calkings for me het for hypo. Some say the blue eyed blonde calking is nothing more than a lavender albino, but they look different to me. Others could be correct though seeing, how calkings are variable.
-John Lassiter-

John, I would like to get a pair from you this year and hopefully prove myself wrong!

Really, I would like to get a pair from you.

Kerby...

Kerby,
First, I have to prove to myself that the hypo het blue eyed blonde is actually a het. After I first heard that lavender albino and blue eyed blonde are one in the same I had my doubts that mine were actually blue eyed blondes. If these throw blue eyed blonde babies het for hypo you will definitely get a pair. Or, I could lend the male to you so you can breed it to a lavender albino female and prove it outright.
Drop me an email at

John, sorry so slow getting back. Had some problems with my computer.

If one is hypo and het for blue-eyed blonde, it would have come from a cross from a hypo X hypo blue-eyed blonde, correct? Is the blue-eyed blonde naturally hypo, or was it bred to be hypo.

Originally, I learned that the blue-eyed blonde was a t+ albino, in the wild population. This could also be construed as hypomelanistic, which is what I thought it might be. At any rate, they are awesome animals, and I hope to get a pair this year. Keep me informed on how yours are doing, and talk more later...

Silly idea,we would be better off if they concentrated on getting some real forum software.

Thats a pretty un-called for remark.

What our software is:

Our forum software is a custom written dbase, written in house, works on 9 web sites, supports over 500,000 registered users, is designed to accomodate millions of messages, is searchable, has sub forums, has anti-spam and anti-virus features, has sticky notes, interfaces with our photo gallery system, interfaces with our mail system, interfaces with our advertising systems, interfaces with our user registration system(which works with ALL our systems including our chats), is spyderable by third party search engines, and has TWO different interface styles, is considerably more secure than most boards, and is user customizeable/configurable. Thats the SHORT list.

What our software isn't: Some third party freeware or cheapware
Johnny Message Board in a Can, used by every other site on the internet, uncustomizable, and targeted by virus writers.

When you write something like that, then put a couple hundred million page views across it, call me.

Thank you for your business!

Sorry, I like this site a great deal,BUT I participate in a dozen of message board.This is the ONLY one where the software requires me to open a new page to read each message with no way to read an entire thread, or at least 10-20 messages at once.As a dialup guy, it seems more difficult than it should be.Adding subforums just requires more clicks etc.

Now,if there is a way to do this here, then I'm an idiot,but I checked and could not figure it out it.

Nothing personal intended, I probably was a bit too blunt.

Perhaps if you set your user preferences on the "Show all replies" section to 'yes', you will find that the entire thread structure shows up at the bottom of the posts when you read them. The forums are designed so that no matter where you are in a particular thread, you can jump to any post within that thread. There is a golden arrow icon that shows you where in a thread you happen to be. There is no need anymore like the old forums to back track your way out of one subthread to make your way to the next subthread in a particular conversation. When done reading a thread, click the 'back to whatever forum' link, and you will (should) go back to that forum page at about the same spot where that thread was.

Now, if you don't want to take the time to log into the forums in order for your user preferences to apply, then you can still make use of the show all replies feature to a limited extent.. at the bottom of a message look for the link that says "Show entire thread" and click it to turn that feature on for that particular thread. Each thread you go to you would have to do the same to turn the feature on.... I find it much easier to just log in to the forums so it's always on as per my own settings.

Also, (not sure it if applies to you), but in case other people didn't know... the 'gray tone' header style in the user preferences may be preferred more so than the classic style if you find it hard to see the basic navigation links at the top of the page .. classic has them at the top while gray tone has them lower down and on the right side of the screen next to the general post information when reading the post.

a great idea ! Ive been whining for a seperate forums for awhile and had given up a couple of years ago. The way they decided to do it (sub forums) was even better than just slapping a Getula Forum on there like I wanted.

Keith, I'm guessing you are not on dialup!!

More pages/more clicks = bad thing.

*I* am on dial up as well.

worse still, I am using AO(hell)L (version 5.0 ...ancient compared to the more recent 9.0).

I am doing everything I can to make the subforums work for everyone - including dial up users. I've been doing my best to break things here so that I can find glitches and problems before everyone else (otherwise we'd be hearing those screams too). I've been asking for alterations and additions to make the forums/subforums better and I am sure the tech person probably cringes with each new email I send him. Unlike the general users of this site or most of the moderators for that matter, I now have well over 325 individual forums/subforums that I have to keep track of between kingsnake.com, kingsnake.ca, kingsnake.co.uk, insecthobbyist.com and exotichobbyist.com -- you can be sure that I of all people want the ability to navigate and search those forums as quickly and efficiently as possible at a moments notice when I need to.

You and everyone else are more than welcome to discuss ANY form of kingsnake here on the main kingsnake forum.

If anyone does not like the sub-forums, don't use them. People may continue to discuss all their kingsnake-related issues and topics here in the general kingsnake forum.

If, on the other hand, you're someone who is looking for specific advice that you are better able to get help with from those individuals who prefer to post in the topic-specific forums/subforums, then post there.

No one's forcing anyone to choose between the two formats. Some people will obviously stick to general forums while others will perfer to gravitate towards the specific ones, and then there will be those individuals who hop between the two spectra.

Not all people want to see subforums or more specific topics because they want to keep as much as possible lumped together in a general format. However, at the same time we are not going to deny those individuals that do want such an expanded structure.

Give things time. Find a forum or group of forums that you feel you best fit in and most comfortable with. The generalists keep what they want, the specialists get what they want, and the drifters navigate between both. See...everyone is supposed to live happily ever after.
