News at the Reptile Room
Available animals
The Manchester, NH show was a smashing success!
Our table at the April 5th show was fantastic. I don't think 2 minutes
went by without someone falling in love with one of our beauties. We answered
tons of questions and had a great time! Only 3 2007 Corns were left
by the end of the day! See you all again in October!
New arrival
We took a little reptile road trip to a new show in Portland
Maine. The show was a little small, but of course we were still able to find something
to bring home. Our newest addition is an adult male GrayBanded KingSnake named Leonidas.
He is named after King Leonidas of Sparta, who was a very brave king. (Check out the
movie 300. It is about King Leonidas and the Battle of Thermopylae. It is pretty good.)
Motley Mania!
This seasons first batch of Butter Corn eggs hatched bringing
us plenty of Butter Motley babies. We even have a Butter Snow Motley! It was a great
surprise since there were 13 eggs laid and only a 1 in 16 chance of a Butter Snow Motley.
The remainder of the clutch are great looking Butter and Butter Snows, many het for motley.
Hopefully the next clutch of 7 eggs will have the same results!
Hopefully the next clutch of 7 eggs will have the same results!
Penny, the Brazilian Rainbow Boa, is a first time momma!
We are so excited about this batch of
great looking little baby boas! Unfortunately we lost our big
BRB male, Lincoln, to old age early this year so needless to say that
this was a great legacy for him to leave behind for us.
RIP Linc. Thanks for the killer babies.

We went to Hampton Meadows Elementary School to talk to the
fourth and fifth grade classes. I don't know who had more fun, us or the
kids! It was great! They were full of questions and we couldn't tell them
enough in the 45 minutes we were there. I'm not sure we could have told
them enough even if we were there for hours! so now a few less people are
afraid of snakes and 49 more kids think reptiles rock! A job well done.
