    Re: Michaels snakes

    Pig …isn’t the word; I fed it yesterday, now the snake is about the size round as your thumb. Length I put it at 3 feet, it ate three hoppers scented and then I put salmon down for the other snake and damned if it did start gorging on that.
    It got to the point where I had to remove the snake for fear of that regurgitation smell later.

    So Don, this is just T. ordinoides – Northwestern with a very blue under side? Sex I would say male?

    I would have to go with female on that one, Michael. Starts a taper and continues. I know it just fed but seems too large a frame to be a male also a larger head.
    I'm used to seeing radixes but that what I see.

    TY Steve
    Then "she" looks like the other velevty coloration "male" but with a very blue underside. Would you agree?

    yep, ordinoides, they vary a lot in color. the infamous "Bob" on kingsnake caught and sold blue garters, most were pickeringi, but he had some blue ordinoides in the group.... I would also say female

    I only talk to them when they ask a question. I don't want people to get the wrong idea. Hmm. Did I take my meds. today Oh, well. I don't need those things, I'm just fine.

    Honestly, I do think they can feel the vibrations of voice and use it as a sign that this person is okay and not a threat. I think they also use a person's smell or scent as recognition. Seems to work. I have some very calm radixes.

    I can get away with it now but when I'm in my 70's people will think(know) I'm crazy.
    At least my radixes will understand me.
