Today we have officially launched a new feature on kingsnake Connect called "public streams", which allows kingsnake.com users to post either to their own private feeds, seen only by your private connections, or to the new public streams which can be seen by everyone. This makes kingsnake Connect a hybrid between the old technology of public forums, and the new technology of social networking with private feeds. For now we have launched four public streams that you can post in. We will add more streams as needed.

The General Reptile & Amphibian stream is for posts about anything having to do with reptiles and amphibians, whether its pictures you want to show off, a YouTube video, links to a news article or web site. Just about everything can be posted there, except commercial advertising of course.

The Ball Python stream is, as the name implies, for posts about the highly variable, and highly prized, Ball Python, and it's innumerable morphs. Post about your collection, or your hatchlings, or just show us what your snakes look like!

The Reptile & Amphibian Law stream is for people wanting to converse, proselytize, or just keep up to date with what is happening with herp laws in the United States, and around the world.

Finally the Field Notes and Observations stream is for people who like to see snakes, lizards, frogs, and turtles in the wild and want to keep informed and current on what is happening out in the fields, swamps and deserts, or to share their latest discoveries and field notes.
