So, I am visiting my best friend in Ft. Lauderdale, and we were at a local herp shop. They had a wild caught Nerodia fasciata. A gorgeous and even friendly animal. However he was a bit thin and dehydrated. Against my better judgement I forked over 15 bucks and obtained the snake.

I got him home and put him in his temporary quarters (a tupperware container), put some water in it (so he could soak and drink etc) and then decided to see if he would eat. He was obviously stressed afterall.

4 screaming leopard frogs later (I can still hear them crying...) and I am no longer worried about the snake, who I have named Jaws...



There he is, with 4 little frogs inside him.
