    Not a Her a HIM L. Oh well I keep “her” if “she” will eat.
    Yea Udo, I though the same about the black markings along side of the eye. And I do like the light orange ticking.

    I see that a lot on snakes around here. The challenge is finding one with solid colored orange or red stripes. I just love those but so hard to find. Not too common, at least not around here.

    I found these two lookers a few days ago. Nice enough to give them a try and see if they eat and do well in captivity. If not, back they go. There's nothing as sweet as when they are lookers AND adapt and eat well. When they do, they tend to be very tame, sweet, and even comical pets full of character. I just love them.







    These two would have made a good pair but they're both female. I hope they do well. If they do, I will deworm them and send them along to a forum member or two that have been waiting patiently to get some of these. They know they are.

    I caught one just like this last year but wouldn't eat. They seem to be picky in captivity. I let it go for that reason.

    Of course you all know Miss Piggy. She's so darn neato, in both looks and personality that I am extremely attached to her. Any offers for her would have to be quite high for me to give her up and even then, I don't know. There's a lot of northwesterns around here but she's one in 10 million special to me. She was tame the minute I picked her up. No fussing, no musking.

    The one at the top looks like Snakey with a brown background. The belly is exactly the same as his, too.

    Re: Just caught today

    You guys are so lucky! We have hardly any garters around here just wandering around.. Of course, we have a TON of kingsnakes, so it's an okay trade-off but still... Very nice snakes, especially the red-striped ones!
