Olive drab in color and about 2 foot long. Sorry no pics yet. She's? still a little spastic.

Jellus Quig!! Post pics quick!

I was expecting pics - I believe this failure, blatant failure to post pics is just not acceptable....

I'm just shocked right now...

:shootout:WHERE ARE THE PICS!?!?!?!

OK, here's a teaser and a bit out of focus. She's all but buried in the eco earth.

Put the gun down darlin' the pic is up :yes:. Besides I'm unarmed :eek:

Here's another

That's cool - interesting!

very cool find but you are going to be faster on the pics lol

What do they eat?

What do they eat?

Scott, they're strictly amphibian eaters, toads and frogs, but Jenea swears they can be switched over to rodents :D. I'm gonna try a little harder this summer to get them switched over.

it freakin hard to switch them it no easy task good luck you can sent the food with toads/frogs it works some times

Sounds very challenging!

Very nice. Good luck with getting it on rodents.

Just dropped in a toad and the ol' man took it. I think she needs to settle in a bit first.

Oh, and Ron. The more I look at her the more gray she looks.

Nice lookin' snake, are you finding these or a friend, because no matter how hard I look I can't seem to find any... :dunno:

Very cool Quig... Hope you have breeding plans for this species... It would be great to see Easterns (and southerns) get established like the Westerns... There is so much of a natural variability in their colors and patterns...

Justin, a friend of mine lives about a half mile down the road and he's surrounded by lowlands with pines on the property. He finds a half dozen or so every year.

Gregg, I do Indeed intend to try and breed these two and see what becomes of it. Not sure what I'll get out of a Gray/OD Green x Orange belly mix, but what the heck.

If you are succesful (spelling?) in breeding these two, I want one!!

I'll see what I can do :yes: :D

LOL, I just realized, you're in Reese. I can Drive that far. :D

Yeah, or I can drive up to you :lol:

Beautiful Quig!! One of my favorite girls was charcoal like that. She would only come out if I was in the room by myself....anyone else in there and she would hide :D and yes they are fairly easy to switch to rodents if ya know how! LOL! I will start a new thread to show you proof! :p

Thank you ma'am. That would be much appreciated. I appreciate any hints you can give me. At the moment I can't get far enough ahead with amphibians to freeze up any for future use for scenting. Whatever I catch, and it hasn't been much yet this season, is eaten almost imediately by the male :D. Feel free to PM me anything if you don't wanna do the whole tutorial thingy.

Gonna sound weird, but start with reverse scenting. Scent the toads with mice, so the animals start associating the rodent scent with food as well Then you flip flop, but getting them onto f/t toads is key. You want to train them to eat non moving prey.

Will it work with frogs as well Jenea? I've got more of them round here just now than I do toads.

I think the frogs work better.

Excellent, those I can find easily. Heck, I might take a wander out by the lake tonight yet :D.

Oh, another thing. Can I use rat pinks instead or should I stick with mice?

I prefer the mice because rat pinks are so much fattier, but that is just me.

Was just a thought. I've got more rat pinks than mice at the moment. Guess I'd better invest in some F/T mice then :yes:

Congratulations. Good luck with it.
