Re: Easterns that I have met
Terry thought I should add this photo here...it's also in the pale male thread.
 There are at least 2 other big females in our yard this year plus at least a dozen males. |

Re: Easterns that I have met
Okay, I went herping for two hours again today and found TONS of garters! I even found the "Attitude" snake a mile from her previous location. :P
Also, I brought home a little male who has black diamonds near a high yellow neck, and the diamonds turn into a black stripe on the first scales with a very yellow stripe above it on 2 and 3. I found snakes in areas I never knew had them, and there were no garters at the garden plots, leading me to believe they migrate to their area. :O |

Re: Easterns that I have met
what a great bunch of pictures, i can see ive got a lot to learn about these little guys, definately where species and morphs are concerned.
Do a lot of people on here that breed these guys, breed for a certain colouring? or do you all just let nature take its course? |

Re: Easterns that I have met
I've been intending to try for decent pics of my melanistic Easterns for ages, but haven't got around to it.
Here's a couple of shots, but they're not very good I'm afraid.

Re: Easterns that I have met
yep, defenitly good enough!
Melanistic easterns are about the hardest subjects to photograph...It looks like my camera can't focus because there isnt much contrast in these snakes... It's a nice day today...I'll head outside in a few moments, taking the black with me...

Re: Easterns that I have met
Pretty satisfied with the result. I tried several backgrounds (white, pink, black and green), but this seemed to work best...
