T-similis

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Just remember that bass a bluegill are near the top of the food chain in waters where they occur. That means contaminants such as PCB's, mercury, and other heavy metals which may or may not be present in high enough concentrations to be of concern, will accumulate in these fish.

I was concerned about that when i first started but i have had great luck for several years and they don't eat the fish for long before they get switched to pinkys and then they only get fish and worms for a treat.

Well, these substances are tolerated by a wide variety of animals and are slowly eliminated from their systems. Just like anything else, it's only toxic when levels reach a certain point although there is evidence that PCB's can cause cancer at low levels.

Beautiful snake! IMO a really nice similis without the dorsal stripe rivals pugets as far as color and overall looks go.
