Well I just graduated this weekend from Texas A&M University with my Bachelors degree in Biomedical Engineering and its time for the next step which means awesome new experiences for me and hopefully a new life for this site and this blog.  I’m hoping that with the new job and the new year, I’m going to be able to find more time in the evening to do what I want to do which includes more photos of the collection, more blog posts, more interaction, and just more fun in general.

Also, I noticed that right now the blog’s comment system isn’t working correctly in any areas of the blog and I’m hoping to get that fixed here in the next week or so so we can see some more interaction with us.  Chase is also getting more time on his hands over the break and hopefully we’ll see some blog posts, pictures, and possibly some cool vids from his as well!  Stay tuned, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everybody!

So we’ve made a few new changes to the site including some snakes for sale!  Unfortunately the Viper Boa (Candoia aspera aspera) project didn’t work out as we had hoped when our female was imported gravid and died shortly after giving birth to about 23 stillborn babies.  It was an extremely unfortunate event that prompted me to move past the Candoia projects and focus on some snake species that are a little more streamlined and ones that I’m interested in.  I’ll be coming up with a post on that and some updates to the site shortly, but I’m extremely excited about some new Corn Snake morphs I’ve come upon recently as well as some Western Hognose Snakes (in love with these little guys!).

What does all this have to do with snakes being for sale?  Well if you check out our Available page, you’ll see that we now have the two males from the Candoia project listed for sale at $100.00 a piece as well as a whole new automated PayPal shopping cart system for direct automation!  Along with these two boys, we also put up one of our male Columbian Boa Constrictors for sale as well as he just doesn’t fall into our current breeding plans.  So, check ‘em out and grab yourself an awesome pair of male Viper Boas that are ready to go this year!

You’ll also notice that I’ve added a new Amazon widget on the sidebar here that allows us to put some of our favorite books, photography equipment, and herp products available through Amazon for you to peruse as you wish.  I thought it was a nice way to direct people to the products and information we like to use here at Ruddock Reptiles, and hopefully it’ll help ya’ll out as well!

Finally, I just started trying to write some different E-Zines (online articles) at a few different sites to help disseminate some more information about photography and herps, two of my passions and the two that I try to focus on here at RR.  So, check out some of my new articles at HubPages!  My username is Pruddock and I’m going to try and write a few new articles every week about various things herp and photography!  Feel free to give me a holler in my comments section and let me know what you think of my articles!  As always, I’ll be posting the information on here, Facebook, and Twitter as well, so don’t forget to click on those links on the sidebar and follow us at our various Social Media sites!

That’s it for now ya’ll!  Time to get back to studying (yuck!).

So back in May apparently I submitted a photo of a White-Lipped Palm Pit I took at the Houston Zoo. I didn’t even remember submitting it and never knew that I had won until I Googled my name today! Anyways, I thought it was kind of cool so I wanted to share it here!

It’s also a good way to get some good publicity for the Earth Shots website, which I think is a really great site and a cool concept. If you like taking nature shots or just like nature photography please join up and share your photos. And if you end up winning a Photo of the Day PLEASE contact me and let me know! I love seeing photos from others who enjoy my work as well!
