hey,
she's a beaut!we caught her ,memorial weekend,crawling thru our rasberry bushes,when I laid my eyes on her the first time,it took me quite by surprize,wasn;t sure what i was looking at,lost her the first time,she went under our fence into the nieghbors,about 15 minutes later she reappeared,thats when i called for the kids ,to help surround her,almost lost it the second time!we have so many Western Plains in the backyard,no reason to add to my collection of ratsnakes,kingsnakes,bull snake,indo gartersnake,but when i saw those colors,we went overboard on her setup,within days she was eating,within a week she was taking nightcrawlers and minnows right from our fingers,and within the last month she's grown and good two inches and shed twice,my son downloaded these pics,for me,I've got some more,from the backyard showing the hugh monsters we've got running thru here,i'll try a little later to download them myself,and add them.

first snake I ever saw/caught was a skinny little Eastern Gartersnake,at a forest preserve in Cook County,early 70's,i would have been around 14/15

Have you tried her on pinkies yet, Joe? Life is so much easier once they're accepting rodents!

[Snaky]

Awesome snake! Please breed with her! ( although I probably can't get young from you )

I'd second the command from James, try a bit of difference in the diet: fish, pinkies, ... The worms are good as a treat, but do not contain so much nutrients and lack calcium.

Wow, she is a beauty!!
