<![CDATA[Nerodia ID request pleaseeeeeeee?]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4326/nerodia-id-request-pleaseeeeeeee/new/posts/ Is this guy N. rhombifer or N. sipedon?? I flipped him under a large rock on a grassy riverbank in Fort Smith this afternoon. I entered it into the NAFHA database as N. rhombifer, but I totally forgot that sipedon was even an option. haha.

What do you guys think?

Thanks everyone!


Oh, and to let you guys know, he didn't let me down. He held up to every expectation on his end. Musking, shredding my hands, drawing blood everywhere he could get... etc. Haha

<![CDATA[Maps and County Lists]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4324/maps-and-county-lists/new/posts/ I tried to click on the maps and county lists tab and it said it is unavailable. I tried a couple weeks ago and it said the same thing. Are you doing some work on that section or is it just Internet Explorer? I'm using IE ver. 7

<![CDATA[Howdy, y'all.]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4329/howdy-yall/new/posts/ Am a newbie, but have been a lifelong snake enthusiast. Have caught and kept many native species, including a couple venemous. Am interested in going on some field trips. Don't have many pics because of a house fire a few years ago. Have been enjoing this site for some time, and looking forward to more!

<![CDATA[Colt]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4325/colt/new/posts/ I thought I'd post a few photo's of a little something I picked up recently. Someone actually spray painted this thing silver. I'm in the process of removeing the paint and have completely removed it from the slide. I'll add more photo's as the process continues. Thought there might be a few that could appreciate a little American history.

<![CDATA[Trying to find some more lifers.....]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4323/trying-to-find-some-more-lifers/new/posts/ Hey guys,

First things first I wanted to thank Bushmaster for giving me the opportunity to locate my first ever cottonmouths as well as watersnakes. 

I am still interested in going either road crusing or hiking.

There are still several species that I would like to cross off the lifer list.......

I understand very much that when you find a good spot you never want to give it out.....

I just want to let everyone know that I am not out here to steal your spots I just want some hints to some places that I could look.  I am currently active duty Air Force temp. here for another 4 weeks.  I dont take anything out of the wild, I simply want to just photograph them and enjoy them in the wild.  I am currently in the Little Rock/Jacksonville area...

A few species I would like to find....
Timbers, pigmys (I know they can be near impossible)
Any of the kingsnake species, a scarlet snake
and if possible an eastern hognose.

I do not mind traveling the state so if you are interested please shoot me a message.....

<![CDATA[2010 Albino Blood Pythons!!]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4327/2010-albino-blood-pythons/new/posts/ I have a few little 2010 albino blood pythons available. For those unfamiliar with this mutation, this form of albinism is T+, meaning these snakes have more pigmentation than true amelanistic animals. Unfortunately it takes a little while for the color to come in, but when it does, wow! The parents of the snakes I have available belong to Chris Kopecky of Bad Apple Reptiles and are phe-nom-en-al! I've included a couple of pics of the the babies and their parents to give you an idea of what they will develop into. The color generally starts coming in about a year in age and intensifies as they grow. The genetic potential of these particular albino bloods is difficult not to understate.

I also have one male from a different clutch. He was produced by Jeff at Battalion Herps. He's a bit lighter colored than the others and will be a more yellowish adult, but he's het hypo. He was produced from a male striped hypo het albino bred to a female albino. He has some really nice striping and presents a whole other set of genetic possibilities (think sunglow, which is a hypo albino). He may be sticking around here but for the time being I'm making him available. I have pictures of his parents as well for anyone interested.

I have 2 males and 2 females available from one clutch, and they'll be $500 for males, $600 for females. The albino het hypo male is $600. I will have much better pics to come but these will do for now.

E-mail me at najak82@hotmail.com or call or text 479-477-0434 if you want to come take a look at or interact with them. They're all extremely handleable, which is important for snakes that grow into such powerful adults!

<![CDATA[Natural Born Herpers?]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/3988/natural-born-herpers/new/posts/ Some people believe that our reaction to snakes and other herps is inborn.  Most of us herpers don't believe that, I don't think. So perhaps some would like to share:  How you became interested in herps. 
                                                                                      How you overcame fear.
                                                                                      How you convinced your family to let you
                                                                                      indulge your hobby. etc.
    Just thought some of us  herpers might share how we turned
out 'the way we are.'

<![CDATA[Few Boas for Sale]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4275/few-boas-for-sale/new/posts/ We have two pair of boas.

First pair is a 7 foot male Argentine and a 9 foot female Columbian.  Both are very heavy and will eat anything.  Both are also very tame.  Asking $500 for the pair or $300 individually.

Second pair are two Guyanas - one male, one female.  Male is 6 feet and the female is 8 feet.  Male tends to be a picky eater, but the female eats anything.  Very handleable, but wouldn't give to our kids like we do the pair above.  Asking $500 for the pair or $300 individually.

Email for any other questions or more pictures.  The ones pictured are the first pair.

<![CDATA[Free snakes!!]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4317/free-snakes/new/posts/ After a few years of caring for these critters, i'm starting to get a little burned out. I'm losing interest in caring for them, I'm more of a field person. Always enjoy going out hunting, but keeping them as pets has lost its touch. So, I'm offering both mine up for free, with 20 gal tanks for free. there is the 2 ft (est) broadbanded watersnake, and a 3 ft (est) bull snake. I will post pictures if anyone is interested.

Speak fast, I'm offering them to other people in my area too, of course Brad gets first pick if he wants one.

<![CDATA[Big Male Red Blood Python]]> http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/forum/topic/4321/big-male-red-blood-python/new/posts/ So I got a huge "female" red blood python a couple of weeks ago. I was getting ready to buy "her" a mate and whaddya know, the probe goes really deep. So now "she's" a he and I just don't need a big male like this. I have a couple of young albino bloods on the way to raise as future breeders.

For the time being I'm making him available. He's got a perfect attitude and if you've ever dealt with blood pythons, you know how important that is. A short, stout snake that will readily defend itself can make for a rather difficult housemate. This guy doesn't hiss, doesn't get into a defensive posture, and certainly hasn't tried to bite. So if you're wanting a pet snake that seems huge but won't get big enough to kill you (like burms or retics!) then this one is perfect.

He's nearly 5' in length and I would estimate weighs between 10-15 lbs. He'll eat f/t rats, haven't tried live.

Now for the pics. He's going into a shed cycle in them so they're not even representative of his true colors.

http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/data/41019DSC_0016_640x480.JPG

I'm tentatively asking $400 for him. E-mail najak82@hotmail.com or call or text 479-477-0434 for more information.
