Found snake in yard

Here are a couple of pics from today. How do you think the vent looks now?

Looks good. Some scale damage but that should repair itself with the next few sheds.
I want to see some body photos. Nice dark phase male. He might need to live on the Ranch

Vent has cleaned up nicely, good work. Keep us updated as the scale damage starts to heal.

You might have to arm wrestle Mark for him. When Mark followed me home yesterday, he loved the snake, but was on the fence as to whether he wanted another mouth to feed all winter before he was able to do something with him next spring. He left saying if I didn't hear from him in a couple of days, I could do with him whatever I wanted. His suggestion was to try to convince my wife to keep him until next spring and we could cross the breeding bridge then.

That all sounds like a terrible idea. Better to let him live here at the Ranch.
Who's this Mark guy you're talking about

Actually, I suggested to Mark that maybe I should convince the wife to keep him until next spring... since she's sitting right here, I won't throw Mark under the bus like that. But on the serious side, I'll throw some body shots up of him soon and if I don't hear from Mark in the next day or two, I'd be happy to bring him your way when I come.

Sounds like a good plan.

Steve - Here are a few pics of the big guy. I have more if you'd like to see them but they're all pretty similar so I'm choosing my favorites for now.

He wouldn't cooperate well with the tape measurer but he's somewhere between 21 and 24 inches. Perfect daddy material. Bow chicka bow wow.
