I knew you knew I know that. :cool:

Oh jeez steve I already know all that. What I meant was they likely didn't mean "garter snake" to include any genus other than Thamnophis. I didn't mean it included all Thamnophis.

Basically your state has banned collection and posession of all non-game wild fish, wild birds, wild bats, wild reptiles, and wild amphibians then specifically exempted garter snakes and others...

They're only (state not federal) protected/endangered in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio because those states are where the disjunct populations occur and those disjunct populations are the only ones...

Probably won't hurt to use them but those are severely degraded. Looks to me like they were freezer burned and/or thawed and refroze. Petco is notorious for that. Stuff in their freezer section often...

Never happened. Some garter species can't even breed with other garter species let alone an egg laying corn.

That would most likely be Crotalis ruber. In spite of them living in close proximity to people densely populated areas bites are pretty rare. They are quite shy and will flee given the chance, rather...

All I know is that there's only one variety of true and edible morel around here; the one I showed you.

I only know of two kinds around here. The one I showed you which is edible, (true morel)and one that's a different color and poisonous. (false morel) They can be difficult for the inexperienced eye...

You two are completely nuts. I know because i can recognize my own kind. :p

Count the upper labial scales on the side of the upper "lip" not including the scale on the very tip. IFor any garter found in B.C. if there's 8 on both sides, it can ONLY be T. elegans or "Western...

I've experienced no problems feeding them these snails that came in with potted plants and established themselves along the walls of my house. But I break the shell and peel it off first. Make sure...

And they were doomed to have their home destroyed by a bulldozer too. A hotel is under construction at the location and a road and parking lots has been put right over their fragment of habitat....

I would clip it off if it's still partially attached and not broken very short/close to the cloaca. They have little to no feeling in the thinnest part of the tail tail really and don't seem to...

Don't use UV lights on zilla slidelock tanks. The plastic is not UV shielded and within a year it becomes brittle and the tabs crumble leaving a hole for snakes to escape. Snakes don't need UV...

My experience has been that most of the time if you cut morels you will get a flush from that spot again next year but if you pull it you most likely won't. Otherwise they'll fruit in the same spot...

disregard

My point was that ripping them out all but ensures that mycelium won't fruit again. Cutting instead of pulling doesn't guarantee you will get another flush. That all depends on species, if it's the...

Actually, they don't all necessarily die. I've had the same mycelium mat fruit 2-3 years in a row. But yank one mushroom out (instead of cutting the stem), which rips the mycelium and it's done. It...

Scale spread is an understatement. Each one is in different zip codes lol

Well, I told you what it is and it comes from 30 years of experience. it's fairly common and not really a major concern. It will likely come off next shed.

That's what it looks like to me. Old skin didn't come off and is now likely fused. don't attempt to remove it. Since it's not on the eye cap or large portions of the body it's not an emergency at...
