I finally located that nice DOR corn I found here that one night. It's coloration was really unique. So sad that it was dead when I found it.



And here are a pair of Yellow Rats I found on the mainland where I used to live about 9 miles inland which was very far out in a wooded neighborhood. This is just after I caught it in the back yard at like 41 inches, very thin and and only 97 grams. The dogs had it circled at night and were all barking big-time, so I went out with a flashlight to see what all the comotion was and it was and saw it all "S' up trying to defend itself from the dogs.



Here he is much later on being well cared for at around 800 grams.





Here is a female Yellow Rat I captured at my moms friends house about 8 miles south of the other one.





Here is a nice little cornsnake yearling I captured across the street from my old house where I found the male Yellow Rat in a big orange tree.



Here she is a good while later as a nice adult. Man, she dropped a whopping clutch of 35 good eggs here first breeding!..LOL! Jorge has this big female now, and we refer to her as "Big Bertha"..



Here she is dwarfing the male.



Here are some of her kids she had after being bred to my lavender het hypo male.





This is the very same hatchling snake in the above photo a while later as it matured more.......just unreal how they can color up!.



Some more Black Racers found just a few feet from where the male yellow Rat was found.





one found on the other side of the house. I watched this one crawl past me and go up into a small bush, then heard a bunch of ruckus and it fell to the ground with a brown anole in it's mouth..LOL!!



Another one bolting off into the woods on the other side of the fence.



Anyway, I found a cool little Pine Woods Snake ((Rhadinaea flavilata) in the wooded lot next door inside a rotted log during the winter, a bunch of awesome looking DOR corns on the road leading out of the neighborhood, a HUUUGE very pink colored coachwhip, and a DOR coral snake in this neighborhood as well wen I lived for only a few years. It was a pretty productive area without ever even trying to find stuff..LOL!

cheers, ~Doug
