T. ordinoides on the Ranch

[guidofatherof5]

Tonight the 6 little monsters were offered tilapia first. Many took it. Then I offered scents (worms) pinky legs. They were happy with that. Then I offered unscented pinky legs and they were happy with that. Finally I offered worms and they readily took those.
They also ripped strips of flesh from my hands and enjoyed that also.

...then they began to eat anything that isn't nailed down, and some things that were nailed down.

love the northwesterns always have. Its all I keep of garters atm. such characters they are... Ive got one that only eats butt first and another that drags her prey up the branch in the tank before she'll eat it like jaguars do... weirdos.. and its true they beg- my husband shot a video of me walking by an enclosure and the trio following me in the tank as I walk by. I should figure out a way to post that its fun to watch. good times :-)

They are sweet snakes. I recommend them to everyone.

Flicker has become the dominant eater of the group. Pounding down the groceries.

[guidofatherof5]

Flicker may be in opaque phase but yet he's still eating. What a little pig.

[ConcinusMan]

Always has eaten in opaque phase. It's only after that clears up, but before shedding, that he usually refuses food.

I love NW they are so cool. Willow and Blade are the sweetest girls and they love to be held (despite what others may say about that). Willow sat for about an hour on my lap without me holding her there just watching tv with me. Blade will do the same from her favorite perch...my glasses. They are such social creatures.

I think the obsession is getting worse.I've started considering moving to the States because of the lack of ordinoides (and Thamnophis in general) in the UK.The main downsides I can think of is horrible tea,no free health care and terrible telly.

Trust me we have many more troubles/problems then those.
