RE: Interracial Dating It (taxonomy) is static in that it's a snapshot. And then it changes. Which is exactly my point. If it changes, then that destroys the concept of "purity", does it not? What is "purity" if the classifications keep changing? What I find interesting is so far not...

RE: Interracial Dating Wow, my expectations for a rational, logical response were low, but I guess not low enough. :(

RE: Interracial Dating I realize I'm probably in the minority, but taxonomy is simply a man-made, static construct, which, in many ways, is antithetical to evolution. Evolution is a continuum; taxonomy is a static view, and it's not even agreed upon what a species, much less a sub-species, is...

Great to hear. Tell them thanks for keeping the rest of us safe!

There's on major flaw in your thinking - they'll start manufacturing skeletons by taking things out of context, or just making stuff up. Or put you on the cover up Newsweek with the psycho googly eyes... :)

Did a quick Google search. Results: http://www.kevincollison.com/breeding/snakes.html http://www.slitheringcreations.com/available.html http://www.mcwetboy.com/reptiles/price_list.php You also might want to ask around on the Kingsnake.com milksnake forum...

Is this it - Lampropeltis triangulum syspila? http://www.wildlifenorthamerica.com/Reptile/Red-Milk-Snake/Lampropeltis/triangulum-syspila.html

Definitely the right direction. Well, at least for the following people: 1) Selfish, narcissistic folks who believe "the government" (ie, you and me) should pay for every one of their wants and needs, and 2) Politicians who gain/maintain power catering to the above, and 3) Those who...

I got a Hermann's because they are hardy and can survive outdoors year-round where I live. In few years, when I have time/energy/money to build a heated hut outside, I might get a Burmese Mountain tortoise.

That's a bummer, but as you said, there are a lot of positives. Those are some beautiful snakes. I'm thinking my next snake might be an old world rat snake of some sort. Thanks for sharing. Ed

Thanks folks!

Steve, Thanks so much for your input. I think I understand the risks now, so I'll have to decide whether I want to accept them. My enclosure has good sun exposure for most of the day. At this point, though, given the responses to my post, I don't think I want to take the risk. We have...

Thanks for the replies, this is great information! Thanks, Ed

I don't have a Greek tortoise (yet), but I really like the look of the Golden Greeks. Seems like there is very little care information on the internet, and even less about housing these guys outdoors. Specifically, I am curious if Golden Greeks can be housed outdoors year-round in central...

Good to hear this. Not sure why people are so scared of snakes, seems like there are a million more things to worry about in life. I've relocated a few copperheads around here (central NC,) but I'm sure Western Diamondbacks are a whole lot more aggressive. Of course, your story might be...
