Spring photography HUGE DUW

Female Nebraska Amelanistic Plains- she's beginning to get a lot of orangish red on her sides... making for a very attractive snake!

This is a wild caught eastern I collected and decided to keep last year. She's really a striking shade of brick red, she looks like a maritime, but she is indeed, from a sirtalis-only range and is a true eastern.


My male California Red-sided, Mesa. This is the closest one can come to owning a san francisco garter without actually doing it! (which is illegal)

Next is my gravid Erythristic Banded Water snake - bred to a hypo male. She looks like she is getting rather close to delivering. I am watching for her to go into shed. She enjoyed the sunbathing.

Now here's a mudsnake, I had a lot of requests to get closer to the eyes of this snake, I did my best, it's VERY hard to photograph a snake that is this shiny, small and wiggly!!! This little sheister sucked down all three of the salamanders in his feeding deli cup on friday. He was supposed to eat one and save the other two for later. They were big, so he's one happy little bugger!







Next is my wild caught albino Florida Dekay's Brown snake storeria dekayi victa That I know of, is the only one in existence. Sure has grown, but is STILL a tiny snake. A note about this snake. People keep telling me to breed this to the northern dekays in my area. But no one seems to realize that there are separate subspecies of these snakes, JUST like garters. I need to keep this subspecies pure. Breeding this snake to a northern brown would be just as bad as breeding an eastern garter thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis to a california red-sided, thamnophis sirtalis infernalis. I just thought I would clear that up while I had the chance!! I plan to acquire a group of florida brown's soon.
