Thanks guys!

Just ignore him, he seems to enjoy posting snide remarks to anything he doesn't agree with, which is many things.

[snakehill]

That's a little hard to ignore!

Not trying to take sides here but I still have an opinion.

I had 1 Argentine Tegu and 2 Columbians and they did very well without alot of heat and humidity. Who knew?

The fact is, these animals, especially the columbians, have been known to be found in very dry habitats. And yes, of course, they can tolerate temperatures that are much lower than they should be kept at.

A garter snake can live quite some time at 50-60 degrees and be "fine" but that doesn't mean our husbandry isn't wrong if we do keep that way.

Well, you could block him if you get really bothered by it.

I'm not saying that they had no heat sources available! Of course they did! I'm just saying that they weren't kept in Tropical conditions!

ohhhh. my... god... you literally just blew me away with 3 pictures. THAT'S supposed to be impossible. The scaleless TX rat... that INCERDIBLE corn... and those copperheads... those are all snakes that are in my top 10 most beautiful snakes on the planet list

my favorite venomous snake is the copperhead. Such beauty and grace... they are a wonderful snake. That's why I chose to make a copperhead as my first venomous sculpture.

Wow. Those copperheads are just astounding. And I didn't even know scaleless snakes existed!

[StrangeCargo]

Yeah that light Copperhead, is it a caramel or T+ albino? It is amazing!! And I'm really jealous of the Gilas as well!! Awesome animals, you just need some thams in there!!

Hey Jason...we're calling the light animals Hypos. It's been proven out as a simple recessive trait. Breeding 2 of the hypos produces some of teh "super hupos" (the very very very light ones). I've bred an adult male "super hypo" to a hypo female- hopefully she's gravid...I'm really excited to see soem more light colored babies.

Here are 2 pics of my adult male "super Hypo" taken by the breeder whom I bought him from (Robert E. in East Texas). His photography skills are much better than mine!

Awwh- Thank you so much! I have a small group (3.3) of the Scaleless Texas Rats (2.1 are mature and the female laid her first clutch this year- eggs cooking as we speak).

Copperheads are very underrated. My love is rare rattlesnakes.... Here are a few pics of White phase Speckled Rattlesnakes... you kinda have to see them in person to really appreciate them BUT these are mind blowing critters.
