2nd Mortgage Snake

[guidofatherof5]

Joe (BUSHSNAKE) sent me a couple snake as we are working on a breeding project.
He sent a female albino T.s.parietalis-Red Sided garter snake and a het. female T.s.p.
The het. female is a pig. A vacuum eater.
I'm not sue I can afford to keep her in groceries. She's a sweetheart put a pig.
All kidding aside she's a great snake and I hope both female will breed with my w/c (wild caught) male.

At least she loves her food, instead of hates it and refuses to eat completely. :)

(people make a joke about me and groceries... haha, cause I'm quite big... But I don't even eat that much! :D)

Pretty!

how old would you say that het is? great-looking snakes, btw

[aquamentus_11]

i can't wait for hydra to get to that size; they get so wicked-looking. plus, the keels on their scales become more noticeable and they get a bit of an attitude (i'm basing this off my experiences as a kid with babies vs. adults). such cool snakes and wayyyy too underrated. so much more dynamic than boas, imo. they seem more intelligent; could be they're just more active. we picked the right species:D:D

I must concur with your diagnosis :D

[aquamentus_11]

how old is that het-vacuum, steve?

[guidofatherof5]

I can't answer that question. Joe will have to chime in on that.

[Selkielass]

lovely!

[aquamentus_11]

so you actually found an albino out in the field? that's incredible.

[BUSHSNAKE]

I can't answer that question. Joe will have to chime in on that.
2008 female...if her appitite is off the charts she may be gravid...i forgot to mention that she bred in the fall:0

Not really I was just the fortunate one to get the snake.
The guy found it in his yard and gave it to me. He also has a den in his backyard and allows me access every Spring.

Beautiful snakes. I think I would literally flip out if I found an albino out in the field! Of course, I wouldn't mind finding a red-sided either.

[BUSHSNAKE]

[aquamentus_11]
