We are having a pretty decent year here. This was my first year to produce Tessera cornsnakes of my own, my absolute favorite corn gene. Ended up with 11 babies and proved out the het I most wanted my Tessera boy to have, Caramel, and also almost certainly proved him to be one of only a handful of of proven homo Tessera corns out there, as every baby from him was a Tessera. That's a fairly big deal.

Caramel Tessera baby.

Peekaboo!

[Tommytradix]

​female. $200 at petsmart!!

[FlameBoy]

tommy you bought the pieds from petsmart?

[Albert Clark]

​female. $200 at petsmart!!
Amazing pick up! Congrats. High white too, that was a steal! Mine are 295.00 shipped. All females too!

[Albert Clark]

I'll definitely check back with you around June or July, they are such cool little snakes love the eastern hogs.Nice pieds man definitely my favorite morph.
Thanks j, it was tough going waiting for the runt of the clutch to pip. I wound up cutting across the 2 slits in the egg to give her more room to put her head through. She pipped later that night.

[AntTheDestroyer]

Dang Tommy how did you manage that? Last I saw my local petsmart wanted $430 for a pied.

[Albert Clark]

That's exactly what I was thinking! That's like more than a steal! High white female pied?

[lilrob]

100 flower rat snake

[AntTheDestroyer]

I know his post actually made me make a run to my local petsmart just to check. Alas still asking a silly $430. Then I stopped by the local reptile store and they wanted to sell me a female high white for $475. At those prices I would argue your prices are a steal Albert and the deal Tommy got is insane.

[d_virginiana]

$295 is still a great price for a pied! Especially being from someone who's involved in the reptile community. It's a more trustworthy source than the petstores.

[Albert Clark]

That's why my animals are only being offered to members of the forums. People who for the most part are veterans of the proper care and husbandry. Also, I care about every animal that I raise and am committed to the health of each and every one from garter to python to kingsnake. Thanks Lora!

[Tommytradix]

i seen it and grabbed it for my nephew. at that price i couldnt just let her sit there and have someone with no experience grab her lol he has a het male so ive been on the lookout for him for awhile. and albert $295 is a great price!

[FlameBoy]

was that the rio petsmart tommy as i was their just a few days ago and theirs pieds were over 400 and they dont run sales nor offer discounts

[Albert Clark]

Just grab one of mine in the future. I guarantee my ball pythons health and sex. That price includes shipping and I can guarantee mine are eating and well started. Thanks Tom!

[Tommytradix]

there wont be a next time lol no balls for me ahaha i was surprised she ate a hopper the day i got her and they had her as unsexed so i popped her right in the store lol

[Albert Clark]

there wont be a next time lol no balls for me ahaha i was surprised she ate a hopper the day i got her and they had her as unsexed so i popped her right in the store lol
Ok. Cool. Happy for you and your nephew. Good luck with her.

[Albert Clark]

The girls all shed out successfully and completely and are still sweethearts.http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13068&stc=1The average weight is 70 gms. With a average length of 11". :)

[jere000]

Wish I had some cash I'd snag one of those pieds up haha.Perhaps if some are available after my boas give birth.

[Albert Clark]

Don't worry J. I can hold one for you. NP. I want forum members to get them. I am not holding any of them back so there are actually 3 left so far. They haven't taken a meal yet so plenty of time.

[jere000]

I appreciate that, but don't worry about it man if they sell they sell.My boas aren't due for months.And then i have to get the babies shed and fed all that good stuff before i can sell any, and have funds to buy more snakes.I will say I do like the top and bottom left haha.Was the whole clutch pieds?

[Albert Clark]

Kool!

[Speedmark]

Once I made a video of all my animals before I got snakes.
I just drop it here, I hope you like it! :D

Nice Speed! Looks like we need to pay admission and request a tour guide. Haha. Thanks for sharing.

Here's a canvas photo of my boy Tank and I. I got him out and this is where he wanted to be while I worked on my tablet. He just wants to be close and will follow me all over the house.

[Eddie]

Great pic Steve!!

[guidofatherof5]

Great pic Steve!!

Thanks Eddie. I am so proud of Tank and the great turtle he has become. He dropped his guard completely before I did. He stopped watching every move I would make. He accepts me and my contact. Whether it's just our talk time or a full turtle inspection, he gives me full access. I've dropped my guard also now. This closeness he wants is amazing considering he's suppose to be a lower thinking animal. If one of my kids take him out of his water he'll walk out into the living room and run to me much like a dog would. I believe he gets comfort from our contact. He certainly doesn't look at me as a rival male and he doesn't see me as a mate. I just call him my buddy and smile every time he gets excited to see me. I'm a blessed man.

What a amazing, unbelievable relationship! Great footage Steve. How old is tank now?

[guidofatherof5]

What a amazing, unbelievable relationship! Great footage Steve. How old is tank now?

He'll only be 8 on Sept. 28th. 40+ pounds at this point.

[Albert Clark]

This is Jordan, a four spot pacman frog that I bought for my wife as a gift back in March at the Long Island Reptile Show. He/she was a little froglet when we got him, and he seems to be thriving in our care.

[guidofatherof5]

Nice.

[Albert Clark]

Jordan lives in a 10 gallon tank with a regulated heat pad ( Herpstat thermostat) and a uva/ uvb lamp. Eco earth and foliage (plastic) and a rock hide. Raised on nightcrawlers , live guppies , pinkies, and horned worms. He recently started being vocal. I say he now bc most say the males are the vocal ones of the sexes.http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13677&stc=1

Happy 8th Birthday to my best buddy Tank.

Recently pulled the trigger on a pair of Northern Arizona mountain kings. I just love these guys.

http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=14130&stc=1A little more closeup.

[Qwerty3159]

Thought I'd take some photos of my Knight Anole as she finished her shed. The lights mess with my phone and its unfortunately really difficult to capture just how vibrant her coloration actually is. I'd say she's about done growing now, I've had her since she was just a few days old, which is good with me because I really don't want to have to get an even larger Exo Terra for her.http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=14136&stc=1

[Albert Clark]

Amazing reptile! Congrats.

[tress29]

This is my new hognose. He's a little hissy in the tank, but handles well and has been surprisingly easy to feed. The last two times I thawed a fuzzy for him, he didn't eat it until the next morning! Apparently, room temp is just right? http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii46/tress29/Reid_Face_zpsm0xu02nk.jpg (http://s261.photobucket.com/user/tress29/media/Reid_Face_zpsm0xu02nk.jpg.html)

[guidofatherof5]

Nice little hog.

[guidofatherof5]

My boy just needed a hug. Once in my arms, he relaxed. This is my buddy.

Love that pic Steve! A couple of months ago I was in a pet store here on LI and they had a snapper about the size of quarter in with a bunch of sliders and I was watching the sliders nip his tail so bad that I felt bad. Long story short "Sherman" now lives with me and has already tripled in size!! I thought you might like this story Steve :)

Love the boxies as much as garters!!

[Tommytradix]

That's one of the less attractive ones I found around here. Wish the garters around here looked as good as the box turtles lol

[Albert Clark]

I dig those kingsnakes and box turtles! Grats Tom.14591This guy is growing nicely and one of my other projects.

[guidofatherof5]

These photos are from a couple months back. Tank was outside enjoying some sun. As you can see he kept one eye open watching me. He doesn't let me get too far from him. We are buddies that stick together. The bottom photo is him wanting out of his pond.

Tank is a beautiful and impressive turtle, almost like a dinosaur.

[guidofatherof5]

Tank is a beautiful and impressive turtle, almost like a dinosaur.

He has such a kind heart. He is really strong but very docile and loves hands-on interaction.

[Albert Clark]

Tank is the man!! He needs a page in REPTILES magazine for sure. :eek:

[Albert Clark]

14793After being off food for almost 3 months, and in and out of sheds and aestivation, Jordan ate! We have been trying different foods, changing his enviornment both aesthetics and heating but nothing worked. Ironically, he only lost a minimum amount of weight. I offered him waxworks this morning and he wound up taking 4 total. So hopefully this is a turnaround for Jordan. Oh, Jordan is a 4 spot PacMan frog juvenile.

[guidofatherof5]

Good for Jordan.

[Albert Clark]

He was offered waxworms not waxworks.... Lol. Typo.

[Peterra]

Any updates on Tank?

[guidofatherof5]

Any updates on Tank?

Nothing much. He continues to be docile and engaging. He wants to spend most of his time with me. I can't even go to the bathroom without him following me. He sits outside the door until I come back out. Then it's back in the living room for more face-to-face time. He is a hands-on turtle. My once in a lifetime turtle. I have learned so much about this species only because Tank let me into his world. These are intelligent turtles and not the vicious animals many think they are. If threatened, they will defend themselves.
Thanks for your interest. You can find Tank on Facebook @Tank Gilfillan. He also has a web page, tanktheturtle.com.

[Peterra]

I do not have Facebook but the website is awesome; thank you.

[Snakemom]

Very nice Natrix maura, Thamnophis. I'd love to have a Natrix in my "collection".

I'd post a picture of my other pets, but I doubt anyone would be interested in seeing a guppy tank.

I'd be interested in seeing the guppy tank - I raised them years ago. A house fire from a faulty aquarium filter and or light made me give up my tanks.

This photo is a couple years old but it shows the relationship I have with this wonderful snapping turtle. Tank just turned 12-years old and continues to be the most docile and interactive reptile I have every worked with. The Common snapping turtle is a very unique species and a smart one.
