Baiting snakes

[ClosedCasket88]

one of my "stripeless"garters is growing to look like one in your heat lamp baiting operation
i assumed they were just abberant easterns but there looking a little different,i will try n get a pic of her up soon to compare.
after my doubts about them being easterns i was starting to think maybee maritimes?
mine still have faint stripes but the female is very brownish and starting to look like what you have crawling outa your concrete

It has been pretty cool and cloudy for a while, so the bait lamp is working pretty well again. A new Lampropeltis T triangulum came out this morning. Looks like it was thirsty. I have not seen this one before, a little larger and different pattern on its head than the others. This one was pretty shy, so I could not get a real good photo. Nice snake!

Another nice snake Terry, nice head pattern. Have you seen the little guy with the un-shed tail recently?

Best "blog" ever, Terry.

And I'm not just saying that because L. t. triangulum is on my wishlist.

James and Stefan: The weather has been a little crappy lately, so the little one has not been around. It is pretty amazing, you want one, and I have them coming out of my walls.

How about the Dekays snake (Storeria dekayi), have you seen her since you posted her picture? I'd like to see more photos of that one.

James: It has been pretty cold and wet, so I have seen nothing outside. My guess is that they are holed up till it gets a little warmer.

Well put.

Not much of a market for "common" species. You can get almost every other species of Lampropeltis, including the more typical subspecies of L. triangulum. One of these things I tend to whine about.

Funny, I recognized it as a new (different) snake, too .
