Colubrids
Rosy Boas
Rosy boas are found in the Southwest United States, and down in to
Mexico. They're a mid sized snake, with the average being somewhere
around 3 feet. All of the rosies we've had the joy of owning have been
easy to keep and pretty straight forward to breed, making them a GREAT
beginner snake. You'll notice a lot of people breed "Locale Specific"
rosies, as they are VERY different looking from one location to another!
Locale specific means breeding rosy from the same geographic location.
ANZA BORREGO This locale of rosy is collected just outside of a state park. Anza's have maroon zig zags on a slate gray background. This local isn't a known for it's size, they are usually about 3 feet in length. The newly born will pound mice pinks within a day or two of being born, and continue to have an amazing feeding response. We put these guys in a sunglass case (With the sunglasses still in it) after we bought them to get them on a plane, and back to SnM. We produce hypo rosys from our Anza's. Here's some pics of the parents, and the 05 litter!
WHITE WATER Another very popular local of rosy. The White Water's we are working work are the albino form, and are BEAUTIFUL!! They have orange stripes on a creme background. We just got this pair in 2005, and hope to have albino White Waters available in 2007!
Gray Banded Kingsnakes
(Lampropeltis Alterna)
Juno Road A very cool kingsnake that once feeding rarely has
problems. These guys are called kingsnakes for a reason, they can and will
eat snakes smaller then themselves. For this reason they must be kept separate except
for breeding attempts!! Like Rosy Boa's, a lot of these are bred from locale
specific parents. Ours are NO different. We keep Juno Road, in the
Alterna (Having very little orange as apposed to the "Blairs" phase that has
as much orange as there is gray! These guys are from Ric Blair, and have been a joy
to have!
Transpecos Ratsnakes
(Bogertophis Subocularis)
An interesting and very elegant colubrid that's still
doesn't have the popularity it deserves!! These guys are from Texas We looked and looked
and looked for these
guys in the "Normal" phase, and didn't have any luck for over 2 years, when
we finally came across some they were the Silver, and Blonde Phase. We
thought they were cool so we decided to give them a try and it paid off.
They are BEAUTIFUL snakes with great personalities. We will hopefully have
some Normal pattern het for silver in 2006!! Keep your eyes opened!
Black Milksnake (Lampropeltis
Gaigae)
These snakes start out as a tri color (Red, white, and
black), and then change to jet black in the upcoming years. They are a
good sized snake topping out between 4 and 6 feet! They are docile as well
as being a room temperature animal! These guys will eat almost anything it
seems, and don't stop once they start! A GREAT snake that we are hoping to
breed in 2005! We got 8 eggs out of the female in 2005, all went bad,
we'll keep our fingers crossed for 2006
Tri Colored Hognose
(Lystrophis Semicinctus)
Not a lot to say about these guys except WOW. They are a
hognose from South America that are just as easy to take care of as our
local hognose are! These guys grow rapidly and we've heard of people
breeding them in the first year! We are hoping to breed them in 2005 at 2
years old! That was an understatement!! These guys lay clutches
like we have never seen. An incredible pet for anyone who's looking
for something "Different".
