meet the new guy!!

[Rook]

ok so after Rook, we started searching for anouther snake(well ok, we were actually searching for a second snake before Rook died lol) well we went out herping today see if we could find a nice pretty garter, got to our destination, stepped out of the car and caught one. I mean litterally we got this very pretty little fella less then 30 seconds of stepping out of the car :p looks like a boy at this point, but we didnt get all that close a look. no name yet.

HOW do you people find these things? I've torn up I don't know how many logs and felled trees and found NOTHING! You lucky dogs!

What a SWEETIE! Nice baby and I'm happy for you. A goodly fellow to follow in Rook's slithers. Congratulations! (Looks much like Winnie, but more yellow in the stripe while she's more greenishy-yellow.)

[Zephyr]
