Wellllll… look who is back! I do believe that this is MS#1 from last year (see head pattern in photo from last spring, no Ladybug yet). That is kind neat! Feel pretty good about it. I have learned that water is probably more important than food this time of year, so you can see that I put out a little drinking place for them this year, and even though I missed it by a second or two this guy was taking a drink. Slick!! More to come hopefully (the bait lamp is on).


MS#1 last spring

[drache]

welcome back MS#1
oh this is so cool

The pattern certainly seems similar. Nice.

The longer first spot on the left and the dimond shaped fifth spot connected to the fourth are also exactly the same. I kind of wish that I had measured it last year. I might try to take lengths and weights this year. Just for the heck of it.

[drache]

yeah
I was also looking at the pattern of spots along the neck
that longer first spot with the indent on the left side . . .
it must be bigger, but hard to tell how much

Looking gooood, Terry.

Things are kind of slow this year, only one garter. This guy (I think an adult male) was out sunning this afternoon on the windowsill, and let me get pretty close. Thought I would see if it would take a worm, it got kind of excited and tasted it, but just would not take it. Well I needed a head shot for the contest so I picked him up, didn’t seem to mind at all. He drank from my little water bowl (couldn’t get a pix, both hands were occupied), then outside for a photo shoot. This is a very nice snake, healthy looking, and when it sheds it will be really nice. Hope more will show up.
