Another snake den being destroyed

[kibakiba]

I would want one of those red striped ones, Snakey could have a twin! But I'm already having a hard time with the ones I got Mama's chowing down on salmon like its going out of fashion and I doubt it'll last that long with her eating everything

You know chantel, if you got out and found a place where there's a good poplulation density of northwesterns you could likely find a rainbow of different variations all in the same area, including red striped ones. However, the snakes I found at this location aren't red striped. I think the two you are talking about (both males) are actually orange. It's not red at all but a nice orange color. One of them, it's orange flecks in the stripe, the other, it's a solid orange stripe. I am tempted to keep the latter one but I'm not going to.

I've had quite a few people step up an volunteer to take some of these snakes but Steve stepped up first and I already told him I would send them to him. He'll have them this coming tuesday.

However, this isn't over yet. I'll likely return and perhaps find a few more before it's too late. The heavy equipment seems to have taken a break. No activity yesterday or today but I assure you, they will destroy this area and all the snakes with it very soon so I will definitely give it another try. If I only find one more, it will be worth that extra trip to save it.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the adoption offers. I was afraid I'd be stuck with them (I really need to cut down, not increase the number of snakes I have). It's good to know I can go back and rescue more, knowing that they will have homes if I do find more.

Snakey is orange but I say red just because it's easier. When he was a baby he was really dark red but it seems to have faded into orange. I would have volunteered to take some in but as you know the money issues and Mrs. Piggy eating everything. I love ordinoides.

This one you see with the nice solid orange stripe sure is a handsome devil and I thought about keeping him just in case flicker is too small or is otherwise rejected by my red stripe girl but this guy has a stubby tail unfortunately. I think that cuts down on his chances to be a successful suitor.



They're all very calm and handle well though and I'm sure they'll make good pets.

Stubby tails breed all the time

Perhaps they do. No matter. I'm just going to make things simple and ship this group to Steve along with some others that were going to him anyway. If anyone wants to try and talk him out of some of them, talk to him.

If I was going to try and talk him out of one it would be that amazing albino he just got! Simply beautiful! I tell you, once St. George gets old and dies I'm gunna get a pair of the loveliest snakes I can find to take his place!

[Mommy2many]

Read back. I already have dibs on that albino. I think it falls under "East meets West"

[MlizGr]

Haha! Rock paper scissors you for it?

If you get a bunch (like 5+) of the red/orange stripe ones shoot me a pm.
