T. ordinoides on the Ranch

[guidofatherof5]

They change their tastes in a split second. Miss piggy ate nothing but worms and slugs for a year, then all the sudden decided she will take fish and pinkies too. That lasted a few months. Now all the sudden, she doesn't want that. She's back to worms only again. Same goes for my stripeless male. Always ate anything. Now all the sudden, will only take worms. And this is after not feeding them for a week. Just when you think you got them figured out, they'll go and change on you.

Richard,
I think if you take more time getting to know them better you'll not see that kind of behavior.
During the intake interviews I conducted on the ones you sent me they did mention that their former caregiver didn't understand them so they "played some games" as they called it.
They assured me that none of that kind of behavior would take place on the ranch.
They all read the Ranch Handbook and took the Ranch Oath.
They settled in and have been perfect little angels since arriving.

Maybe the problem is with you Richard.
That last sentence was typed by one of the wonderful little Northwesterns
They are very smart snakes.

Gotta go. They just popped me some popcorn and we're going to watch a movie.

Northwesterns are a bit like women... You cant live with them, you cant live without them. They can be complicated, but they're still the best thing you're ever have.

Mine will switch what they like every once in a while, but not that often. they really love their pinkies.

I find myself at a loss for words to respond to that Steve. I simply don't know what to say.

What movie are guys going to watch? "Anaconda" perhaps? or maybe "Boa vs. Python" ???

My work is done here.

Amidst all that is going on here at the Ranch new life just won't be denied.
This afternoon I was feeding my Northwestern(T.ordinoides) garter snake.
While moving everyone out so that they could eat I ran across these 3 little newborn beauties.
These are the first Northwesterns born here.
Beautiful, healthy little scrubs.

VERY NICE scrubs!

One of them started eating this evening. 2 earthworms went in only, one returned.
These babies will grow up with a group of baby radixes that were born about a month ago.

Do you have those movies yourself?

Let's make that 4 new Northwestern babies born.
I just found another in with its mom.
Speaking of mom, she started eating tonight. She downed 4 pinkies.
I'm glad to see she back eating.
