Hey everyone. I though this would be a good way to start a dialogue. I was wondering what everyone is working with, and what would they like to work with in the future?
Currently I am working with:
Breared Dragons
Corn Snakes
Honduran Milksnakes
South Florida Kingsnakes (Mahogany Phase)
In the furture I would like to work with Blue Tongue Skinks, Uromatyx Species, and Gila Monsters.

What exactly do you mean by "working with"? This could be a rather long post  For breeding, I have a shipment of suriname toads coming in soon, which will end my 7 yr long quest for more. It's hard to breed something when you only have one! I also have a shipment of rough green snakes in around the same time. I hope to establish them into the captive bred scene as I'm convinced once you get the species past the wild caught phase, that they'll make nice captives. As for keeping, in addition to the above, I have blue tongue, leopard, grass lizard, bull, boa, and corn snakes, newts, pacman frog, mangrove monitor, russian and african spurred tortoise, box, red-eared and snapping turtle. These guys are a mix of retired breeders, unfinished pairs, or just fun to have Working with, as far as wild observations include chorus and wood frogs, red sided garters, and hopefully this year plains garters, wandering garters, leopard frogs, tigers... not including trips to BC, texas and wisconsin for herp's. Finger's crossed! Now my want/future list? You'll need a calculator Take the embl taxonomy database, subtract my current list, ------------------------------------ My want list Am I ambitious or what Ian |

I used to have quite a few more herps but sold many off as I'm join the forces this summer.
Current breeding projects - Might sell some pairs soon how ever.
Corn Snakes
Colombian Boa Constrictors
Colombian Rainbow Boas
Red Tail Ratsnakes
Vietnamese Blue Beauty Ratsnakes
Fan Foot Geckos
Crocodile Geckos
Mt. Meru Jackson Chameleons
Used to have 12 gecko species groups and 7 colubrid species groups, but can't keep them all if I'm not going to be home.
Might pick up a female honduran to go with my male. Wouldn't mind getting a anery boa this summer too, might be best to wait though.

Short list for me - we breed cornsnakes and creamsicles and the variety of morphs that are related to creamsicles - rootbeer, cinnamon and several other emoryi/corns - will have striped creams this year for the first time.
We also breed Honduran milksnakes - have tangerines, albino in tangerine and tri-color and ghosts - expect to produce anery, hypo and ghost next year - giving the young females another year to grow before breeding and I think I am giving my albinos the year off this year.
No other species at this time, but always tempted,

Hey Mary, do you have any wild phase animals? I've been somewhat interested in some tricolour type milksnakes, but havn't narrowed it down to species yet.

Both tangerine and tri-color hondurans are wild phase - the tangerines occur at higher altitudes and the tri-colors in the lower elevations if I recall correctly - and we do have some of both. I don't have any hondos breeding this year yet - may still go with one clutch. They are a great species once they get past being idiots as youngsters,
