I've found a handful in the backyard already, though they have been slow in coming out this year, despite some nice weather.

Hey guys! Long time no talk, as always. Life keeps me busy.

First find of the year and I'm practicing recognizing male and female snakes. I am leaning male on this one, do you guys agree?

I've always thought the first one was male. We've had him for 2 years now. But lately I've been on the fence about it too. He's very wiggly, so if I catch him in a calm moment sometime I can try to...

I've got two snakes that I'm not sure about the sex. One is Creek (who we're pretty sure is a Northwestern, despite his unique appearance). We've always assumed Creek is male, but now that he is...

We have a strong breeding population in our backyard, so I'm really lucky to be able to just walk outside and find them. I hope you find some good ones for yourself!

I love the ordies I find in the backyard. I've been keeping track of them for the last three years. Gresham is a great place, and I'm lucky enough to live along one of the inner-city creeks so we get...

These little guys are northwesterns from my backyard in Gresham, OR. I went out to find worms for my littlest snake and happened upon one on the wheelbarrow and then found...

Portland, OR. She is one of approximately 10-15 that were born around August/September. It was the second group born that I know of. We have two large females in the backyard who produce every year....

It is T. ordinoides.

This little one was born back in August/September and is wild caught. I'm wondering if anyone has some guesses at the sex? It's very wiggly and nervous, so the pictures aren't great, but I tried to...

I live in the Portland area of Oregon. I have read that northwesterns eat slugs and there are certainly a lot out in the backyard. Is it safe to feed them to my wild caught babies? They can be picky...

Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm in Oregon. Portland area. I don't think there are any checkereds out here.

Hello hello! Long time no see, everyone! I know I only hop on here every couple of years now, but my life has been too hectic to be around much.
Unfortunately, my Cuddles passed away last year. He...

I wasn't sure I would be able to get him to eat at first, but he seems to be doing really well, so I'm happy. Hopefully he will eventually warm up to me, too.

He's only shed once so far, but I can tell he's bigger. I removed it; if it gets wet or anything it gets annoying to remove, and I see it as waste so I remove them all anyways. I took that picture...

I can post a few from when I first found him. I actually found one even smaller, but it got away. He's grown a little since I first found him, but most of the other wild newborns were a little bigger...

My Cuddles is captive born, though his mother was caught wild when she was pregnant with him. He is relatively calm once you get him out, but he can be a bit of a bratty teenager sometimes. The wild...

Alright. Thank you for the help.
After seeing all of the babies outside, I'm realizing that he is much smaller than most of the others, with the exception of the one with the bad tail that I found....

Another question unrelated to the eating: Cuddles has never gone into brumation. He was captive-born and seems the same in winter as he does during the rest of the year, probably because he's never...

Beautiful!

Most of the ones I've found so far are still babies from this year, but if I run across any adults outside of the female, I will let you know!

Little Creek ate! I left him alone in a feeding tank with some grass and worms and when I came back there was the tell-tale bulge that said he had eaten!

That's good.

I went wandering around the yard today while the dog was out - he can't be out by himself because of the lack of fencing - and I found probably 10+ baby/young snakes, all around or a...

Do you guys think the defect might hinder survival? I released her because I couldn't take in another.

I've been offering food every two days or so and letting him be the rest of the time. When I do try to feed him I put him in a feeding container with places to hide and some of the grass from around...
