Corn Snakes!

Fresh shed, shiny scales...tiny python...

And even tinier boa.

Also, I got lucky enough to find a male Chapala garter to pair with Maya, the female. He's got more noticeable stripes, not quite as blue but still very blue...and needs to take a chill pill lesson from the girl

Recent herping trips have uncovered some interesting creatures:
Pituophis catenifer sayi by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Though I have to say, this species has been the most exciting!
Crotalus viridis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
I've actually made videos featuring this guy, another more recent rattler found, and other animals; to see them go here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Wg6rOWsfqIzLiLMN1_dxg?view_as=subscriber

Such a nice snake collection! From the photos I thought the black pine snake was an indigo snake being as it is so pretty.
 
  • #86
She's my "cheap indigo," just as dark as the all-black ones almost but didn't cost me a grand. Still has the aspect of "needs a permit to take her out of state when I move" which will cost a little more when that time comes, but as she could push between 5-7 feet long she won't be too much smaller than an indigo.
 
  • #87
If the pine snakes, of which I have no experience, have the same disposition as their cousins the gopher snakes she is probably a sweetheart, huh?
 
  • #88
Tsela's actually the calmest of the three gophers I have; I've heard claims that the black pines tend to have slightly more bullheaded attitudes than other species, but it's certainly not the case with her. She's puffed up and bluffed only once in the time I've had her, and the San Diego gopher and bullsnake are much more prone to bolt, San Diego much more so. Only one bite from any of them though, and that was Rebel who for some reason went into feeding mode on my knuckle one day; not defensive, but hungry.
 
  • #89
When I was living in CA gopher snakes were one that I would just pick up when I saw them and rarely saw any defensive attitudes, though they generally did try to crawl away. I do love to hear them hiss, tho'.

So tiny at birth...and as this was the last to hatch, I've got 10 now that need new homes (well, 5 that have actually eaten, 5 that we're still working on convincing that miceare actually food...)

And, because it turned out my previous "Cymus" was misgendered, I had to do a trade a while back...so now we have Cymus 2.0!
Cymus 2.0 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And he's been busy with Maya too. Unfortunately that means he's also not eaten at all since getting here since he has other things on his mind...

So gloriously black...
Tsela by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And the ghost of pattern here near her tail are all that's left
Tsela by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And I was trying to get some good shots of Rebel's color, since he's gotten huge...but this was all I got before for some inexplicable reason my mother walking by got him all riled up, bluff-striking and hissing away until well after I'd put him back. First time he's ever been that way...and he also hasn't acted like that since.
Rebel by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Among other headaches: it's nice that Namer is handleable right now, but for some reason he's also decided not to eat. Apparently this is a fairly common thing among boas and pythons in winter though. His future girlfriend is still a bottomless pit though.
Namer by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Domhara's also become more frustrating to feed...though 10 minutes of teasing still manages to get her going if I try very late at night.

Her color really can only be appreciated in person though

The juvenile, Reynard, is still a bottomless pit too though

Halailah has also stopped eating...but she's also a bit chunky and could use some slimming down. Like Namer, it's also nice that she's stopped trying to eat my fingers

Tsefan, on the other hand...

He didn't like his picture so he tried to eat the phone too

And there are 9 baby house snakes still here...with no concept of personal space

They fit nicely into small spaces though

This one...does not. The castle is the only thing I have right now to try representing her real size (she's double its height at least and it's 4 1/2 feet tall) but it's still something also only appreciated in person

As much as I try to find something beautiful for myself in reptiles, unfortunately, it does not work. How different we all are, and that's great:adoration:

Those are some very nice photos.

The unnamed gecko who hates human interaction as much as Piberius does...maybe more since he's more willing to bite.

And Rebel, who's at least 5 feet and a couple pounds now, but still could have quite a ways to go.

Of course, never going to beat Callie in size. She's definitely pushing 10 feet now

Hungry little monster that will take fingers just as willingly as mice...she's only safe while she's on clothing. The moment she touches skin, it's feeding time to her...
