That's right, we will have a limited quantity of shirts available at that entrance to the NARBC for you! They are free, but if because there have been requests to make a lil donation towards them, we have set up a QR Code for you. Now here is where it gets even better! I talked to Jon this morning and we will be donating a portion of the proceeds direct to USARK.
If you grab one of our shirts make sure to take a pic of yourself in it and tag us in it too! We love to see you in our swag. Hey you old school folks, crank out some of those old shirts and show them kids too! Make sure to tag us in it!

As temps start to drop with winter sneaking up on us, most herpers dream of spring when they can again go out into the field and have a chance to have a moment like this! How about that classic pose on this Timber Rattlesnake seto2112 found back in June 2007! Looks like someone is about to shed too!

On this week's "WOAH Wednesday," we go back into the archives of the tree boa gallery on
kingsnake.com and see this gorgeous red calico Amazon Tree Boa posted by kingsnake user Mike H.
Wow! What a stunning tree boa! Unlike Emerald Tree Boas, ATBs do not go through the same ontogenetic color change as they age. Their colors will develop more over time, versus a total change like Emerald Tree Boas that are often born red and turn green as they mature!

When it comes to reptiles - more often than not, we want to highlight the great things! New arrivals, updated enclosures, room tours, expos, etc. We DON'T often discuss things like biosecurity, diseases, cross contamination, mites, etc. This sends people onto social media groups asking for help and ideas, and then getting obliterated by "experts" and a million ideas that may or may not work for them.
