    new snake today

    as usual i was out mowing grass and out of the corner of my eye i saw it doing the tham deathroll because apparently i was standing on her tail. i bent down to grab her and she struck then i grabbed again and got her by the neck. after i got her she wrapped around my arm and musked me a good bit and went into a milk jug with holes in it just fine, she did strike a few more times in the jug but a few hours after i set up another tank i picked her up easier than i can with ekoh. she has a full tail and that makes sexing a hell of a lot easier lol. she looks to be in good health with no mites or other deformities that i can see but i will post some pics either later tonight or tomorrow some time.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    a little blurry but you should still be able to tell




    she is sweet as can be i barely even have to hold her unless she sees ekoh then she wants in his tank lol. i think she is younger than Ekoh because her head is a little smaller and more narrow but her body is about the same maybe bigger.

    This of course is a generalization as some snakes carry higher, some carry lower and the babies can shift lower before birth.

    another thing i noticed about this girl is her eyes they are a lot different from Ekoh's, as in he has like flecks in his eyes and her eyes are a solid copper color, they look like the piece that slides over a metal pipe when putting on a compression fitting, like for brakes on a car or a hydraulic clutch line.

    Re: new snake today

    ok i was wondering because when she was running through my fingers the lower parts felt funny and when she was laying for that pic her belly looked like it was laying different/weird, and then right before the vent area looked a little bulgy but not a lot. i will just keep an eye on her, but i'm thinking it is a little late for a WC to be gravid, but once again i just don't know lol

    She looks like a breeding age female so the chances are good that she's gravid.
    Best to prepare for little scrubs so you don't have to rush around when/if the time comes.
