Welcome to the 'new' kingsnake.com

Welcome to the "new" kingsnake.com!  In 1997 when I started kingsnake.com (pictured right) , I never imagined that 13 years later we would still be here and that the site would have grown so huge. And technologies that were just dreams then, like web video, web-connected cell phones and iPads, are not only reality but commonplace today. In 1997 we were happy to have pictures and colors, having just stepped up from HTML 1.0 which didn't allow for either. Forums, classifieds, photo galleries, chat, video; we have added a lot to site over the years, so much in fact that the site was getting tough to navigate. Today we have relaunched kingsnake.com with an easier-to-navigate user interface. But this is more than just a facelift, because we're also launching two huge new features. Community Blog - You are reading this on kingsnake.com's brand new community blog. It allows any of our registered site users to start their own reptile or amphibian-oriented blog. Share your experiences, your pets, your politics and more! Connect - kingsnake.com's Connect is a beta project being developed to let the herp community stay in touch with their friends and fellow hobbyists, keep each other up to date on legislative issues as they develop, and to build and strengthen the herp community network. Registered users of kingsnake.com can use it to share photos, links, information, alerts, updates and more. Please bear in mind that Connect is a beta project and may need to be taken offline for updates from time to time. We have created a Connect forum to post questions, get answers, report bugs, and request features.  Our staff has worked hard over the last few months to bring these projects forward and we hope you enjoy the fruit of their efforts.
