Carl, very interesting topic. I have actually caught some baby wild deer mice (babies that fell off of the mothers back when she ran) and baby LTT DID jump right on them. Guess it is just the scent of domestic mice that they don't like. The ringneck thing has always puzzled me becuase I have caught numerous LTT and eastern kings that have regurgitated ringnecks. Not sure why some folks dont' think they eat them. As stated, I used to use the babies to feed my hatching LTT. In southern MD I find tons of worm snakes in temporalis habitat. I have not found any temps there, however I know of quite a few found where I am looking. Still, I bet they prefer lizards as the ones in locations where worm snakes are not found do as well. I would bet they would take a tiny ground skink or five lined over about anything, but then again I would not know as the temps have eluded my for quite a while. LOL. When it comes to finding them, sir you are the man. I am now in KS, so I will only be able to continue my search on my visits to MD. If you are ever out this way give me a shout. Peace.



Joe
