Next..

my A. versicolor, on it's way to adult colors.

A recent purchase, B. angustum.

I need to rehouse my P. regalis, so to better see it's beauty!

Male Ts are so brave! imagine looking into this while mating! This is my G. aureostriata during one of their sessions. (video posted at the Video Forum)

Lastly, the strength of the male A. hentzi during was amazing also (see video)

Man! I'm really impressed with your regalis' new enclosure! Way to go bro!
Also, I think that B. albopilosum is one of the most under-appriciated T's in the hobby. They have a subtle beauty and manner that I love!

Not a T

but still a cool critter. My boys and I caught 14 of these Fox Snakes in one spot last year in a fairly developed industrial area here in Toledo, OH. We "observed" 4 of these for a few weeks in a large renovated display case I have. We had around 50 eggs laid and were able to hatch 47 of them. We released them last year, and I am happy to say, I have seen many that are a little bigger than what we let go. Here is a series of pix, including one of a matting scene from this year.

A few months off

Fall sports for the kid's are done and my attention can return for a moment to posting some more photos.......

First 2 are 8 months of growth from my Red Phase G. rosea.

Next 2 are of Mom Emporer with kids, and then kids on their own (2nd Instar) about 3 weeks later (NEXT TO NAIL CLIPPERS FOR SIZE).

Last is my A. geniculata, about 2".

4 legs and no legs

First is the only Native Lizerd I have ever found here in Toledo Ohio, a 5 Lined Skink. Saw several the day I caught this one. They are VERY fast, This on is eating roaches, crix, and Meal Worms.

Next is one of 2 Ball Pythons we added to the collection.

3 & 4 are of my Blue Tongued Skink that is an awsome eater, and quite gentle.

and 5 is our Sand Boa (thanks Michelle / Oldhag), She is the strangest eater, Place the food directly above her head, and she opens her mouth, bites hold, and swallows down.

Last for now

My son's critters (even though they are in my house, and I by the food).
He saved up his money from the summer and purchased this Brazillian Rainbow Boa.

Next his Crested Gecko eating a dusted meal worm .

And finally his Pixie Frog (son of a gun bit me tho other day, almost sent it flying!).
