T. ordinoides on the Ranch

Vegetarian pizza, never thought to try that. Thanks for the tip.

Oh if that's all then heck, you might as well try vegetarian pizza.

Depends on what kind of vegetarian you are. If you're the kind that will eat dairy products, Margherita pizzas can be pretty damn good.

Try convincing a T.ordinoides. Most of them can't even be convinced to eat fish or pinkies. Picky little shits.

Agreed.

aahh.. but the joy experienced when you have a happy, well adapted one.. it's hard to beat. They can be quite the "puppy dog" sometimes. You could swear the species isn't wild at all. No more so than a floppy eared fluffy dog. It's like that.You know how you can get to know a dog so well that you can almost hear him talking to you? I mean, there's no need for actual words because you just understand each other? I've only had that with a few T. ordininoides over the years. The rest are great too but even the tamest concinnus reminds you often that he/she is wild and that your relationship is conditional.

Not a great selling point there, I may have to reconsider getting Northwesterns in the future.

On the contrary to that, I've never had a northwestern that wouldn't eat anything I offered it, unless it wasnt eating anything at all. Big females are only picky if you hold out on them. I find they really take well to hand/tong feeding.

Flicker has gotten a little picky in the food dept. Right now it's slugs and earth worms.
Not a big problem since this is prime slug season.

Beautiful coloring on that one!

Good. I try to make it very clear how they can be when it comes to food. Wouldn't want people to get stuck with a snake they couldn't feed. Now, they're not all like that, just most of them. Particularly if you get them very young or offer your CB a variety right from the start then they're not so picky. I find newborns to mostly be willing to try just about anything. It's the adults that have been feeding on just worms and slugs their whole life that are stubborn.
