Re: My Big Eastern...

There were 42 plus 2 did not make it for a total of 44. They are a lot bigger than the other babies that I have. Moma eastern ate today, so will probably release her tomorrow. She is in pretty nice shape. Will let most of the babies go too. There are a couple that are really really nice. Some look like normal easterns, but a few have almost no stripe or markings. Looks like colorwise my snakes are all mixes genetically. Will try to post some photos of the unusual ones.

Re: My Big Eastern...

Well I just release "big eastern". I was playing with the babies and the top was off the viv. I turned around and she had climbed almost all of the way out and was looking at me, so I decided that it was time. Let her go at the end of the pool where I found her, she is a really nice snake. I will miss her. Down to 3 now Buddy, Green Girl and Gee Gee (for garter girl) not counting of course the 80 babies.

Good job letting her go, I'm sure the 80 babies will keep you busy enough!

Re: My Big Eastern...

Ultimately I am not planning on keeping any. Some will be adopted into good homes, but the vast majority will be released. That is the one nice thing about having wild snakes, I can do the fun stuff all over again next year.
There is one however......
