>>I just fd out from bro Taylor....like that theres a dude in Tejas (where else...zzz)... that has likely been lurking for ~ 3 years now...who bought 3 of the 11 mussuranas Glades sold in 8 of 2002...& this lowlife has quietly bred the neonates for mucho dinero....yuch...anyway....if this ammonia deposition survives by this advisory...so be it...
>>I owe it to the few remaining...those who sek to understand the ultimate colubrid..especially the bro's...Doug, Hassan n' way down south....Fabian...be advised....
>>
>>...10.7.05...Yikes..I just had my neonate raised Clelia out for an excercise session this AM...this about 8 days post a major feeding event; (C.atrox).
>>It was as usual...very active & alert while out cruising.
>>
>>Despite this fairly frequent handling..& It has taken half hearted feeding strikes at me.... before when I have reached in for it, & again...particularly at night.
>>I had no scents of mice or snakes on me, yet when I went to retrieve it, it began to repeatedly lash sideways gaping for my hand!
>>It even nipped at its own body & the lawn chair fabric in its haste to feed. You'd expect this behavior from a habituated boid! The strike pattern was like an elapid...as is the venom....
>>
>>From now on it will be hooked & tailed!
>>
>>Wild Clelia are renowned for their docility during capture...Feeding responses of C/B-LTC snakes are a whole ' experience...
>>
>>You are now for-warned...
>>
>>Beers, RxR
