For Sale - 2009 Kingsnakes

November Special - Buy two, get one free Leopard Gecko sale!

First, I've got to point out that I'm busily cranking out CSS and XHTML code for a complete re-work of this site. During the interim prior to launching the new version, please point out any inoperable items on this site you might run across - I tend to bust a lot stuff as I go along in life, just ask my wife. This is also a good time to make suggestions for changes or additions you'd like to see...

With that launch, we'll be making our 'free shipping on all orders over $250' permanent. For now, we've extended it yet again as part of our monthly special.

So here's how that works: Using our simple shopping cart system, just place an order  for $250.00 or more of our reptiles and the shipping will be free! The shopping cart will even calculate the correct total for you. The only details:
  1. To qualify for the special, you MUST use the shopping cart system and pay via debit/credit card or PayPal account. No exceptions.
  2. Offer applies only to shipments within the continental US. Shipments to Alaska or foreign destinations are not eligible.
  3. Before somebody asks: Types can be mixed to achieve the $250.00 total in any way you desire, choose from geckos, snakes, any colors, any sexes. It's up to YOU!
OK, now for the real monthly special...

We've decided to bring back our most popular special of all time, our 'buy two, get one free Leopard Gecko sale'. So here's how it works: Using our simple shopping cart system, just order any two (or four or six and so on) Leopard Geckos. The cart is not smart enough to know which one should be free, so placing it in your cart will get you charged for it. For every two ordered, simply list another in the 'notes' field during PayPal checkout (or send to us in a separate email) as your free one. 
  1. To qualify for the special, you MUST use the shopping cart system and pay via credit or debit card. No exceptions.
  2. The free ones need to be equal or lower in price than the ones in each pair, you're not going to get a $500 specimen for free after buying two $25 specimens. I know some genius out there will try it, it won't work.
  3. Offer applies only to new orders placed on or after 11/1/09. This offer may be cancelled at any time, without notice.
  4. Be prepared for some substitutions to be requested. Each time we run this sale, geckos move out fast and getting duplicate orders for the same specimens is common. Needless to say, it's first-come-first-served, and we'll work to get you the assortment you want.

Albino San Luis Potosi Kingsnake (Lampropeltis m. mexicana x ruthveni

We've crossed albino Queretaro Kingsnakes into the San Luis Potosi Kingsnakes to create yet another interesting new albino! We produced our first albinos from these crossings in 2003 and will also produce some 100% hets. With a little growth, these snakes are becoming incredible! Click here to learn more/see adults.

What do all these numbers and stuff mean?

The description of each specimen is followed by the sex of the specimen, it's date of birth, a stock number identifying the specimen, and the selling price. Photos are of the exact specimen listed, are taken inside a standard 16oz deli cup for size comparison, and are updated monthly on average.

Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated specimens:

  • F021-01M indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A', 2002 is 'B' and so on).

  • F021-01M indicates the clutch number for that year, and thus all specimens listed as F021- are from the same clutch.

  • F021-01M indicates this is the first male from that clutch. F021-03F would the third female from that clutch.

CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.

CH - Captive Hatched, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from a gravid wild-caught female.

WC - Wild-Caught. While all of our stock is produced here, some of it is produced from wild-caught adults that we maintain. We will occasionally sell some of the breeder animals as surplus.

LTC - Long Term Captive, usually followed by year of capture. Applies only to WC animals, indicates they have been maintained for a long period in captivity and are very well established.

50%, 66%, 100% - Percentage of likelihood the specimen is heterozygous for the listed trait.
