I am still around
Hi everyone,
Sorry I have not been around. I went to Maui for a week & all my snakes are up from burmation now & I had to return to work, so I have been really busy around here. I did get out for some hiking Saturday & am pleased to say the snakes are out!!! My wife & I found 3 rattlesnakes & a kingsnake on the hike. My wife almost stepped on a baby rattler that was stretched out acroos the trail. She missed it by about an inch...eeek! Anyhow, I will try to check in more often. It is to hard to read 1983 unread posts...LOL! As it says up in the top of my screen.

Some Maui highlights were;
My wife hassling a local


a whale cruising by


Here is the snake my wife almost stepped on;


a friendly adult rattlesnake...LOL! It let me get really close for some pics


Here is a link to youtube of a video of my Calif Red sided eating fish;

Thanks for looking,
Jerry

No, just where I live.

Thanks everyone, hopfully everything should be not so crazy around here soon. My stepdaughter just moved back home, so kind of dealing with having someone around the house again.

The red sided garter will not eat mice, only minnows & tree frogs, but the coast garter loves them. Here are some pics...

Re: I am still around
Ok, really, really dumb question here. I know how the kingsnakes and balls kill their prey. But how do the garters?? They don't constrict right? So do they just-- ugh-- swallow live???
