    High yellows? Really?

    Is it just me or has the label "high yellow diamond" become too loosely used? Quite a lot of snakes that people refer to as high yellow to me are just nice standard coloured diamonds. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong if I am.

    Should users location be compulsory?

    So much of the information published on the forum is location specific. For example heat requirements for Cairns are different to those for Melbourne. I think it would make the information more useful if readers knew where the writer was located. What do you think?

    Not exactly an ID... territory size question

    I have what I am quite sure is a coastal taipan visiting my chicken pen. Unlike the big carpets we also get here, I don't run into him much. He also doesn't seem to trouble the chickens like the carpets do and prefers the rats (which kind of endears him to me despite his lethality). The other...

My question is this. How...
