T. ordinoides on the Ranch

[guidofatherof5]

I don't feel any weakness per se but will keep close tabs on him.

[guidofatherof5]

There has been a change in Flicker.

Today he ate 3 worms instead of 2
Lindt ate 2 and the other newcomer (named SR-71) is still opaque and off food.
All-in-all I think things are good.

Steve,
I do expect your setup must be like disneyland for garters! I know that if ever I get a business trip that takes me anywhere close I will try to coordinate a visit. From the threads it seems like the area around you and your basement itself is like a fairy garden for garters.
Is SR-71 melanistic? I don't recall seing pics referring to that one in your collection. Neat name.

No. Just dark and that's the name that popped into my head. I think most of my snakes are comfortable with what I've given them.

A visit would be great. I have some awesome snakes you should meet. You can also meet Tank(Chelydra serpentina-Common Snapping Turtle).

Here is the stuffed Flicker. Notice the white on the flank where the night crawler is.

I love her colour.After huge meal they look like a sausages with a face

Flicker is like clockwork with this food thing. He greeted me at the screen, downing 2 night crawlers and a med. slug.
I offered the slug first.
He hit the hemostat so hard they flew out of my hand and lodged in the concrete wall behind me.
Okay, that was a slight exaggeration but he did grab the slug with vigor and swallowed if very quickly.
He is a social snake and fitting in well here at the Ranch.

[guidofatherof5]

Found another medium slug and Flicker was more then welcome to eat it.
Way to go Flicker.

[guidofatherof5]

5 of the 6 new Northwestern scrubs are eating good. One is not taking worms at this time but is taking slugs.
*Flicker Update*
It's cold and rainy here today, I was only able to find 1 slug in the backyard. Flicker was more then welcome to eat it.

Good to hear all are eating.
