Field Herp Forum

I bet the guys at the kentucky reptile zoo would have the most precise data for your question.

I dont know how a found animal could be accurately aged. Mine were assumed current yoy and it was quite a long time ago.

It depends on shed rate = depends on physical development per dietary and temperature influences. I had Missouri contortrix what looked like well started WC H, dosing needle fed gerbers turkey&supplement. 4 months and only one shed event before placement with Steinhart Aquarium, with cool green caud...

Wondering if anyone would like to show their builds.

Would love to see some rock carving works.

Not all people involved with the husbandry of Zonatas are obtuse habitat destroyers. Keeping Zonata is a sensitized topic, they are fetishized; even though there are tri-colored lampropeltis with equally stunning banding that are 'easier' to feed, and less spatially demanding. My guy is a gifted hat...

I dont know enough about color genetics to make a comment on the melanistic commentary you mention but yeah agree. like, some mammals ie; Lion juvie boys will produce black manes.., some 'black bordered' animals will have deeply infused crossovers or chevrons . I had a sweet crote lady , rescued fro...

Good. Glad to hear it.

y know,.. there seems to be a feeding promiscuity thats active in aquatic, semi aq reptiles. A Get It While The Get - Whatever it is - doesnt slip/swim/ away.
Water situ accentuates the mobility of some body types.

As for your query its a really interesting one. looking forward to respodents.

And to FHF Members Nice support of a talented, multifaceted member - really exemplifies the stoic fake "keeping up appearances" of lesser minds. I really dont care that you Porter have your socialized values per responses.. And I cant help it if the status quo is chicken or jealous to remark on you...

Im no expert but have you tried Tinder? Or some equivelent? Like some nature lovers dating ap? I worry about you. Your smart but narrow minded, weird ideas about male acceptance. You made a video comment once about me, it really pissed me off, you completely underestimated me, i think because of you...

Your welcome, I hope he agrees it's not a problem .

All the best to you Chris

It's a great shot though, one couldn't ask for more. It could just be benign and vascular from the strain and activity of jaws as he begins the headpiece. There might be some extra blood activity there from multiple teeth dislodged prematurely from a vigorous feeding sieze. I definitely wouldn't put...

I have observed vascular flushing in snakes as they feed. And little micro dots of blood. I've seen it also in snakes when they extrude their cloacal lining, also a very vascular area. It is peculiar to me that it is isolated to that one area. The mouth looks clean though, no ulcers or swelling or s...

What do you mean exactly by bleeds? Is this on the shed, or the mouth of animal? Carpets are intelligent, explorative and assertive seekers of scope. If what you are describing is a presentation of labial renewed open spots, it is a bit irregullar usually these press or rub areas present as very Pin...

What do you mean exactly by bleeds?

Residual? On the shed? Little bloody dots on labials of actual animal freshly post shed?

Just commenting on a recurrent theme.

You couldnt handle what I have - maneuvering primates before bounndary guideline zoo modalities, a hippo - named Mugs the Hippo who crushed my supervisors foot, An irascible, adult male Yak who charged me every morn, a crote stick, bites to the face and other parts per muscular boids, nasty open lac...

You know Porter; you dont take an authentic compliment real well.

You know Porter; you dont take an authentic compliment real well. Unless its from some older man, however the thing is you are kind of; could we say ; dimensional and this forum does promote a rather dry line when it comes to expression. This isnt what I have experienced with Scientists - no not new...

Thanks for sharing..!

Bummer.

Maybe it just wasnt the right day.

There ia something frequently brilliant and convergent and hilarious about your observations and vernaculars.

Thats like nature itself.

Yeah what gives All I know is I saw him in another thing where he was surrounded by screaming ppl with clown hair and I thought he was pretty good considering the alternative!

Any one who thinks they have contention with anyone else, truly, and earnestly, look at the shelf of these books.

Even the worn tint and wear should bring you to the den of your fellows.

Agree, i have a small child in my life now, thru marriage kinda, and man its strange out there.

Like no room to be a kid anymore.

I really like that Peterson guy. He has sad eyes. From knowing stuff i guess.

My most intense adult herping was in Fl, never thought of havin a camera. Still there are years of my life i dont recall well but seconds of my time around Mayport that swell up to take their place. As a kid I only had one buddy to go lookin with and we both thought we could smell where the snakes w...

Someone with editing skills just needs to replace Serpent and Dragon with tumblr and tictoc.

What a perfect thing to do. Oh gosh i just woke up, and tapped of my alarm and now i have a lump in my throat.

Thank you.

Hm I think maybe its a good thing it didnt turn out. Heating finished plastics to an extreme is well documented to produce toxins of quite the variety. For what its worth i have an actual peice of twisted vine thats been in viv for 6 years now that gets regularly misted, with a blow off period betwe...

You must be really proud Craig, of your sons. Its cool how they absorbed your passion for herpetology.

On another note, do you breed your own mice?

Im really leaning towards doing so again because of postal delay stuff.

Nice Craig!

OG excitement about a cali classic - its what its all about.

Didn't the Beatles say that "Speaking words of wisdom, let it be"

Dont backpack your silly non-commital remarks on my comments. You dont EVER do it to "The Mens Folk" so dont do it to me. Got it? Good.

Uhh sure Craig. Sure.

It cant really do any harm to let it be at this point.

Oh Gosh, thank you Bill for coming over here and well, Showing Up as they say. I have felt compelled to stand here beside Jimi, alone, with my little ad hoc sword of love for this planet, with all my political science deficits, but knowing whats good. So thank you and forgive my guff, please. This t...

You know, it was worth reading to get a refresh of the Haast quote though.

Its the same wholesale regurgitation over and over with no discussion of other points made. The gestalt of most recent posts mass expulsion of contrarians is probably from "Ryan From Utah" incognito, if the links work. I sure havent checked. This second climate change thread has its genesis as produ...

Big man w micropenis.

simple dimple.

Refresh.

I couldnt even make it to the end, of the above shrill, amateurish skit. One of the poorest "Yeah? Well Youre A DumB Head and a Poopy" that Ernie has ever come up with. And to think Jimi came to your defense when a mugshot of you in jail scrubs was posted, and others were so embarrassed for you bei...

Again, its extremely sad that an unbalanced well into-adulthood-son, cowardly uses his elderly father as a sock puppet.

Hes even afraid of me, a one hundred pound snake keeper lesbian.

Sir, this is an unfortunate trajectory, but its your choice.

Spooky, isnt it?

To return prior Ernies request to his only ally, Richard Hoyer per PM for diffusion of the re-emergence of the animal abuse mugshot and support.... I couldnt even make it to the end, of the above shrill, amateurish skit. One of the poorest "Yeah? Well Youre A DumB Head and a Poopy" that Ernie has ev...

Im sorry Sir, but your intrapersonal leanings, past accommodations of animal cruelty (Pit Traps and other empathically estranged input about Living Animals) and butt-hurt familial associations with your own perhaps costly illegalities (your sons snake collection deaths in government care) do not mak...

Scientist are sometimes hired by large corporation's as consultants , this is not the same thing as having research funded . Far from it. Dr. Richard S. Lindzen did not lie. The Newsweek journalist twisted the facts and made a false accusation blurring the publics perception. A popular smear attack...

It looks like Ernie and Mr Hoyer keep googling contrarian scientists and when their folly and/ or $ ties (and lies) are escavated, instead of addressing the points delivered, they *Ignore* (the most blatantly bad of msg board moves) and go dig up another one, but they are always kooky or shifty. Ern...

We have seen the other side served by a crown capped comix bully, and the respectable OG and its not strong no matter how stubborn the resolve. Or attention-starved. It isnt strong. Jimi thanks for not letting the HS have the last word. Its important. Mature choices and changes in behavior need to b...

Its more important how a reptile presence is treated ideologically than species accuracy, imo. Dont skip a level in mainstream consciousness. That said, I disagree with the broad spectrum usual of dumbing down and have full confidence that on authentic intrinsics and the majesty of an animal alone p...
