I see that I'm a couple years late on defending myself on a public forum where I didn't know people were bashing the hell out of me.

I don't know if any of you know the laws of the state that I live in, but the shorthead garter snake didn't become a Protected Species until just recently (2 years maybe?), and there was no real thrill of feeding a snake to another snake, I was working with regal ringneck snakes at the time and they are snake eaters there is no way around it.

I no longer have any ringneck snakes, or any snake eaters for that matter, and I gave up on looking for snakes locally since there's nothing more than shorthead garters and northern browns around here. For the record, the blizzard cali king that was constricting the brown snake wouldn't take pinkies or even lizards, that brown snake was a last resort move. Also the majority of the pictures on my website in the Various Pics section aren't mine, and most of the pics are of snakes eating, snakes that some people have trouble getting to accept food in captivity. The pic of the shorthead garter snake being eaten by the regal ringneck snake was mine but like I said before, old picture, the shorthead wasn't protected here then.

So, years later, thanks for the bashing guys it was a good welcoming to a site I never saw before.
