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:
- To qualify for the special, you MUST use the shopping cart system and pay
via debit/credit card or PayPal account. No exceptions.
- Offer applies only to shipments within the continental US. Shipments to
Alaska or foreign destinations are not eligible.
- 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.
- To qualify for the special, you
MUST use the shopping cart system and pay via credit or debit card. No
exceptions.
- 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.
- Offer applies
only to new orders placed on or after 11/1/09. This offer may be
cancelled at any time, without notice.
- 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.

Beautiful snakes with wide brownish black and light
golden-tan stripes. Very clean
striping for a high contrast look. These are perhaps our favorite
rosy, they really stand out. Like all Rosy Boas, they are gentle,
easy to handle, feed readily, and make
great pets for beginning snake keepers. Most females mature at just over
two feet, with males slightly smaller. Click

Another 'unicolored'
population, this time from near Highway 1 south of Ensenada, Baja California
Norte, Mexico. Still uncommon in captive collections. May retain traces
of juvenile patterning as adults, a possible influence from neighboring

one of
the only U.S. populations of 'unicolored' snakes. Adults are nearly solid light brown
with a rosy-gray venter, hence the name 'roseofusca'. Hails from rocky
hillsides near Barrett Lake on Highway 94. Adult females mature at about
thirty inches, males are slightly smaller. Click

Not too far from the
Barrett Lake locality is Otay Lake. This is another of the rare U.S. populations of 'unicolored' snakes. Adults are nearly solid brown,
suffused with blackish blue spotting and
with a rosy-gray venter, hence the name 'roseofusca'. Fully grown adults
look exactly like the dark granite outcroppings in which they reside. Click

background. Click here to learn

Long Canyon is located NE
of Palm Springs, CA in the Little San Bernardino Mountains. Rosy Boas from this area are typical desert boas
with bright orange striping on a plain gray background, but they exhibit
dorsal stripes with irregular borders, a possible influence from nearby
populations of coastal rosy boas. Click

A very popular Arizona
locality of Rosy Boa, and for good reason. Good temperament, attractive
markings, easy feeders, these have it all! Somewhat variable in
appearance, adults may have stripes of dark red to light orange, with or
without a brownish tone to the stripes. Stocks originated from the west
side of the Kofa Mountains at fairly low elevations. Click

From time to time, we have various adults and subadults
available. Most adults are proven breeders from our colonies. Many subadults are specimens we grew up to
evaluate for use as potential breeders.

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. |
