"Pond" in Brown Water Snake enclosure
http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=2113475,2113475
Hello,
I would like to build a pond to install in the enlosure to put some small fish or tadpoles in for it's night hunting. The current idea is to use a foam filler, cut a mould from there and cover in fibreglass, so as to keep it light weight. Also, while drying, I'd like to cover the whole pond ...

Gulf Salt Marsh Snake (?)

While kayaking in the St Pete/Tampa area, I was lucky enough to spot this young Gulf Salt Marsh Snake. In looking at online examples, the pattern looks a little off. Is this a hybrid? Thanks!
Artificial cover ideas for NWS?

I spent some time enhancing my terrestrial cover sites over the winter with natural materials and things people will not steal, which resulted in just a single find this year. Modern doors it turns out are made of a cardboard material that disintegrates, and water levels rose over a metal site than...

I've heard of queen snakes as big as an adult water snake but never saw one until now. When I saw a head sticking out no bigger than my pinkie I assumed there were two different snakes. Found at a busy public boat launch on a reservoir, not the small stream where you'd expect to find one.

having unexpected trouble switching my litter of 2-month old NWS from live minnows, which they eat with gusto, to frozen/thawed. They seem to need the movement, but offering bits of thawed fish in front of them doesn't do it for them. Advice?

As if yesterday's litter of 49 wasn't interesting enough (I had brought the snake to a public park and people were watching the babies come out), I decided to keep one in the tank with a little corn snake. Big mistake!
