Thamnophis.com made the top 40

I would consider myself to be a "message board veteran", with over 11 years of experience as a frequent poster, lurker, and moderator at a wide range of boards (including one of the top 5 largest forums of any type on the internet), I've always thought that this was a pretty strong community here. Not the most active message board on the web, got a couple quirky rules, but a good group of people with interesting discussion ranging from casual to informative, to (in a good way--ie usually not crossing the line) argumentative.

Thanks for pointing out this article though, Jeff. I find it very intresting.

well done.
Of course the boa and python people will look at that and say "its a thriving community because all those noobs keeping those begginer snakes need to ask for a lot of help".

What a pleasant surprise thanks Jeff for the low down,....well done everyone and a big thank you to our moderators, that news has given me a smile as large as the one on the face at the end of this sentence

I personally subscribe to Reptiles Magazine, Practical Reptile Keeping, and Herp Nation.
Reptiles Magazine has been around for ever and is a staple for the hobby.
Herp Nation-already pointed out what it is about.
The Practical Reptile Keeping is a UK published magazine, it is a bit expensive to get here in the US but worth every penny. I won't take favorites here, but this is a great magazine, all three magazines are great and all three have a slightly different flavor.
I would also like to add that you can receive the Bush League Breeders Club Monthly Newsletter for free and it will be emailed to you to open the link and/or dowload if you choose. There are a lot of great articles without all the advertisements and I happen to be on the Newsletter committee.

Woo hoo! Congrats to all of us!!!

Btw...what are some good hobbyist mags?

Thanks Jeff for bringing this to light, and congratulations to the forum! No matter what the rankings i enjoy and learn so much from from the people on this forum who share a love of these snakes as i have for many years.It has also forced, me to try and become able to use a computer which my family gets a kick out of!

I would love to a fly on the wall when some of those other websites see Thamnophis.com pulled a #1 ranking.
Most of them will have to look-up the word Thamnophis.
Then they be shocked to see it's about garter snakes.
The lowly garter snake kick some butt.
