    My friend's new snake! :D

    We picked this little it up at the plots. It was in some crotchety old people's plots who swore that "there are no snakes under our boards!" I noticed a lot of snake habitat is being converted to garden. The snakes seem to be relocating in the vicinity: I'm finding them near the raspberry bushes and around structures as opposed to hiding under ground cover.
    Anyways, here it is, I'm thinking female and possibly gravid:




    I'm watching her for the night while he preps the tank. :P

    BTW, this is the "iron salmon" color morph. There are... I think... 4:
    Light cinnamon, Iron salmon, Red, and Brown.

    Do you think a gravid snake, especially one which will have such tiny babies with such a difficult diet, is a good choice as a first snake?

    what a pretty little snake
    I'm assuming Kyle will help with the babies
    and Kyle has experience with tiny critters that climb

    Indeed. Johnny has agreed to "hand over" the babies to me if there are any. I plan on mincing up worm parts for them (With vitamin supplements :P) and then giving them back to Johnny when they can take larger, more manageable prey.
