Nice pictures. Any idea what species that centipede is?

Looks like you had a great time on a sunny, spring day . I'm a little jealous... for now at least . Temps soared way up into the 50s today, but the snow is melting fast.

My mother used to catch black racers all the time. I've never seen a yellow bellied racer though.

Slug eggs, what a great idea! I've never even thought of that. Did the Storeria dekayi take them?

Yes, as did the babies.

When it is a native species, that centipede, is probably a blue legged centipede, Scolopendra polymorpha.
But I a mnot a specialist in this creepy animals.
But I love the way they look.

the place i went is a very small state park called china camp about 20 minutes north of san francisco (it's my fav herping spot) I have no idea what species of centipede it is (im not big on entomology but ill take a pic of a cool bug when i come across one) and you like my manicure???




suck though, when my gf and i got home i had found that our cats had attacked the snake rack and knocked down tyhe new big gravid garters tub down and my python regius' tub down too, luckily both were unharmed just a bit cold and wet from the water dishes being spilled but otherwise ok

after that i took a nap, and woke up to my gf screaming happily because we have a new hatchling




been a long day (but a good one)
