I'm Back

[redspot]

Up here in Portland Oregon the snakes have began to move, This is outside a Den site frequented by Thamnophis ordinoides and Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus, I've also found Northern Alligators, Ensatina, Rough skin newts, Oregon red legged frogs, Bull Frogs...damn and unidentified turtles in the area. I'm sure there could be Sharp tails, Ringnecks and Rubber Boas but have yet to find any.

T. ordinoides







Ordinoides Mating

This female was dragging the male around



Sorry for the lame commentary...



Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus

Welcome back.

Glad you have some activity. Here in Iowa we're still in the freezer.
The only thing that might be out would be the Iowa snow radix

Hi, from Hillsboro, redspot

I stood and watched 10-15 garters cruising in and out of the hole you can barely see.



And both species competing for the best basking spot.

Redspot has been missing for some time now. Maybe we should update him? ever since he posted about the weird looking concinnus, I ran right out to find them and I did! Thanks for the tip Redspot!

In addition to his missing post I can also NOT find my original post showing the hypoanery's. It was posted on March 20. Can't find it to save my life.

P.S. I am seeking out ordioides with the red stripe EXACTLY like the picture you posted. I've found hundreds of snakes so far but no red stripers. GIMMIE!

Ask and you shall receive? I seriously hope I didn't take away an old (regular visitor) friend of yours but the comparison is uncanny, and it is the same place after all. There were dry leaves like that, it was a cool day, like the day you took that pic.

I don't get too fond of ordinoides very often but I don't want to give her up now! She's gravid, very tame and curious, comes to my hand (begging for food) and eats pinkies and night crawlers from my hand. She's a porker and very lovable. Here she is:


Hmmm...
