Pituophis are pretty interesting snakes. Active during the day like garters, they just grow to be a lot bigger. They can be very defensive and vocal which can be pretty intimidating.
So far this little one is very tame, never hisses or tail rattles. Will see if that last.

P.S. Thanks for all the replies everyone. It's nice to see such an active online community. I posted these pictures on other reptiles site and only got a couple replies.

Very nice! T. s concinnus really are handsome snakes. I hope mine will breed next year.

[GartersRock]

Wow! Those are nice red spots!
I also really like that gohper! I don't love albino snakes, some I do, some I don't. I currently don't own a single one. But I probably will someday. Your gopher is a nice one!

[drache]

generally I don't care for albinos, but that gopher is very nice

Well I had my first garter feeding experience last night. What a hilarious even that was. Having not kept Garters since I was a very young child and that was just wild ones that I would keep for a few days.
Anyway after reading all the "issues" people have feeding pinkes to Garters that are not accustom to it I was a bit concerned with these two. However my concern was thwarted last night when I offered the male first a small piece of chopped up pinky. He smelled it and took it right away. Great right! Then I went onto feed the female with the same results. So far all things going well.
This is when things got interesting, the female was still holding onto her first piece when the male had finished his. So what does he do, go right over to the female and lunges at her mouth grabbing the piece she is trying to get down. After a few seconds of battling them apart I was able to get the female free as the male was not letting go of what he was trying to steal. I wish I had my camera out because me holding in each hand the body of a garter and their little mouths latched onto a pinky mid section would have been a very humorous photo. At the time I was just concerned about getting them separated.
Well needless to say I took the female out and finished feeding her in a separate enclosure before putting them back together.

Yikes Jeremy! What a first experience! I have fed my two together at times and it's a constant worry when I do. I separate them now as well. Glad you got them apart! I've heard that running water over them will get them to release, but thankfully have no first hand experience.
