I purchased five yearlings from South Mountain last year and got one of the males big enough to father a clutch. This is the first codominant gene found in colubrid snakes that I am aware of. It creates a striped pattern, but is a very different look than a striped corn, because there is no...

With most reptiles, I leave eggs in a cluster if laid that way. They share resources to a degree and the hatch rate tends to be better. With chams (veileds in my case), I have heard that separating them is better. The thought is that the stimulus of early hatchlings prompts the rest to come...

Oops. Meant "Hatchling snakes" I have read that stomach contents of wild chams can contain remains of hatchling birds and lizards. I produce a lot of colubrid snakes, and often have non-feeders, imperfect animals, or snakes otherwise in need of culling. These usually go to carnivorous...

I am hatching a lot of reptile eggs, and small white gnat larvae about half the size of a Phoenix worm always find their way to the eggs that go bad. I've rinsed a few through cheesecloth and used them as feeders for a test hatchling, but they drown really easily. I don't feel like pulling...

I'm sure most of you use temp guns, and I was curious at what body temperature you see your animals reach when put outside. My adults seem to refuse to come into the shade on hot days, so I bring them inside when their body reaches over 95f. -which can happen in ten/fifteen minutes on some...

He seldom looks very white, part of that was mood from removing him and part was the flash. It's a big pic, so let me know and I'll edit and post as a link. This is the one I talked about in my intro.

I brought all the males to the shop to grow them out, and now I am "stuck" with a pile of girls. This batch took almost nine months to hatch! Oddly, every egg made it, though the female ratio was quite high. My friend took some pics, but they are rather high res, so I'll post one as a link...

My name is Chip, and I've kept veileds for a few years now. Recently started producing them with good success, so just picked up my first Monasantaro (sp?) panther at the Columbia SC show. Handsome young male, about 5 inches not including tail. Sadly, it appears to be w/c, and had issues...
