    A Thamnophis Christmas 2012

    If you received any Thamnophis or Thamnophis related item for Christmas we would like to hear about it. This is also a place for any Thamnophis related Christmas stories you would like to share.

    I'll start things out with the gift I received from my largest T.radix female Speckle. She has been in quarantine while I deal with a medical issue. This morning I opened her tub and reached in to check on her. She bit me for the first time. She was wild caught from right outside the front door 5 years ago. She was an adult then and has been a total docile girl until today. I guess she's tired of meds and vent cleanings.
    Little Flicker (T.ordinoides) also gave me a Christmas scare. I got into the Northwestern paddock and found him gone. He was found a short time later on the floor at my feet. He was looking up at me as if to say "please put me back this floor is cold".


    NEXT?

    I noticed mites on my Chicagos, I wish I had noticed it earlier than on their way down to be put into brumation, but glad I caught them. Also I got bit by my female chicago for the first time.

    A while ago I got a great gift in the mail. A very nice, simple, one sided Christmas card from Steve. It's still my favorite item received this year as it sits as a background picture for my albino checkereds.
    Thank you Steve!

    Other then that... I got pajamas and socks. (It's a good thing I like practical)

    Instead of The garter snakes Evolution and Ecology (which was all I asked for ),I got a Toblerone...I still don't know how it happened
    It's all right though as I'll be using this a leverage for them to allow me to buy more snakes
