I think I might have trouble making it sit still. It might be because it is wild caught, but right when I pick it up it musks while spinning it's back. Eww...

could it be a nice idea to open a topic with comments on the photo's? Not to spoil the photo-topic?

That's a good idea, reptileparadise. So... what's your snake eating? Have you put fish in gelatin or something?

Lol...thats the reason why i wanted to open such a topic.
She is eating a piece of smelt. The thing on the smelt is an egg. For some stupid /strange /unknown reason they only catch female smelt in Holland (well, not only females, but 9 out of 10)
The other thing you might be seeing is vitaminpowder, but i only use a very small amount, so maybe its not even noticeable.

hmmm...i see i have an other pic...on that one its more obvious what everything is...the only thing is...its huge, and much zooming is requierd (not improving pics quality)

It's head is really pretty (nice shape and color). I also like the way you caught it retreating back into the shadows. Really a cool photo! What kind of garter is it?

its a Thamnophis atratus atratus
here's another pic, had a perfect photo opportunity.(which simply means i could take a ton of pics without her knowing it :P )

I have never seen eggs on the smelts I feed.
Where do you get your smelts?

reptileparadise · 12-03-2006, 03:31 AM

I get them in a local fishingshop. They're pretty big...maybe you only buy the small ones? (the ones used as aquarium food?)

Thamnophis · 12-03-2006, 05:56 PM

I buy them in a bag of 1000 gram. The largest are about 6 cm and the smallest about 3 cm.
