This summer while I was camping upstate, I came upon a baby melenistic T. stirtalis shedding! Unfortunatly, I didn't grab it, bacause I wasn't positive of the species at the time. I still have the skin, and I only figured the species out thanks to adamanteus's scale count thread.

Thanks again.

A few years ago, I also found a huge (at least, 36 inches) female T.stirtalis eating a nest of robin eggs. Nothing fancy, just fun to watch.
