Very nice, James. :)

[mtolypetsupply]

Great pics of some beautiful snakes!

[olive oil]

Lovely pictures James.
I have a question for you, when you take your snakes outside for pics do they try to get away from you?

[adamanteus]

when you take your snakes outside for pics do they try to get away from you?

Sometimes. But they're not as 'free' as the pictures make them appear..... my hand is always just out of shot!

[olive oil]

Do they slow down any as they mature?
Mine are so quick.

[Stefan-A]

Sometimes. But they're not as 'free' as the pictures make them appear..... my hand is always just out of shot!

[olive oil]

[olive oil]

lol i let mine out regularly when it's nice out..... meadow will fallow me if i move anywhere:p

Are you serious? She follows you?
She just roams free?

[adamanteus]

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//539/medium/2007_08111checkered0018.jpg

I love this outdoor shot of Olive..... hunting for worms!

[Stefan-A]

When did you start naming your garters, James? ;)

[adamanteus]

I didn't! Molly named a couple... including Olive. I may have named one or two myself, but I can't remember the names I gave them! I just call them 'the female concinnus' or the male melanistic sirtalis, or whatever.

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol how come you don't give them names? you can't possibly have too many to remember them!!!!!



Are you serious? She follows you?
She just roams free?

i'm starting a new thread lol no more hijacking james'

What a coincidence. Those two pretty much look like these:

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/39/00763whydidi.jpg

I actually brought that up before, the fact that there is no red on them. Pretty much was told they probably aren't red-sided garters.:rolleyes:
