Re: Proper pronunciation of Agkistrodon

Thanks guys. The 'gk' combo was what was giving me grief. Couldn't figure out what to pronounce and what to leave out.

Proper pronunciation of Agkistrodon

Just a bit confused on the pronunciation here. Only ever seen it in text and was wondering the correct way to say it out loud. I know it can be a bit tricky to give pronunciation advice with written words but thanks in advance.

Re: Any Dart Frog Keepers on FHF?

What size viv are they in? I have found with leucs having a 2.1 (2 males, 1 female) is the best ratio for breeding... The additional male creates a heierarchy and promotes competition which I think the female likes... Plus, you get extra calling! ;) I have them in an 18" cube Exo. Got a ridicul...

Re: Blacktail Cribos

So, I see and read about these beautiful snakes on here quite regularly and I am unfamiliar with them(part of the reason I love this place, exposure to new and exciting things). I am very intrigued by them. Could I ask what the current latin is for them so I can do a bit more digging?? Thanks guys.

This topic also begs the question "Do different populations of the same species produce a different smelling musk? Or do they all stink the same?"

Good point Chance, I failed to take into consideration gas, etc. I was just thinking support the local-ish economy bla bla bla, but I suppose I can still support them via the 'net.

Check out dendroboard.com as well. There are TONS of folks on there who make absolutely amazing vivariums and paludariums, with lots of great info and how-to's and build-alongs. Good forum as well, a little more to the tropical side, but good stuff none-the-less.
