The Sirloin Stockade in Del Rio. Been there done that Rusty.



Great post Hugh! Keep em coming. I'm taking notes

Here's a contribution to the discussion.



Sept. 8th 1982 I (with the SA ZOO on permit) found a hatchling L. m. greeri on the crawl at about 1:00 pm immediately after consuming an a rather large unidentified Sceloporus (probably Sceloporus jarrovi or Sceloporus poinsetti).



Big problem, the snake had to survive 3 or 4 more days and 1400 miles of travel without regurgitating. The large sharp spines of the Sceloporus which were evident from outside the engorged snake would surely wreak havoc coming back up. The snake didn't blink. Made it back fine, thrived, and bred many times.
