I was shoveling snow, dammit.....NOT!!! Here's some stuff from down south, sorry for the same old stuff, but it is what I have to work with! At least there is something new about this set, here are two indigos sharing the same space and food resources at the same time. I took some sorry photos, but it is hard to keep your eye on two at a time and they were quick! Here's the setup, same place, heard a splash, investigate to find one indy hunting leopard frogs from under a bank. Load splash, second indigo comes out from under bank to steal frog or warn the other away. Crappy shot of indy swallowing frog, basking and leaving to go back to den site. I could not tell whether this was a pair or two females, I doubt it was two males. One was maybe three or four inches longer than the other. "Tiny" got the frog! I was 6' from the larger one as it basked for 45 minutes. Tiny only basked for 20 minutes before heading in. Also flipped 2 checkered garters, one with food bolus, probably Gulf coast toad)s), 1 Texas spotted whiptail, 1 ground skink, several Gulf coast toads, 1 western narrowmouth frog/toad, and a Med geck. Seen many Rio Grande leopard frogs but surprisingly, no turtles. A good day! Dammit, forgot to download again, see part deaux!

Sorry here's the pics, always get ahead of myself. I saw the frog, maybe you can too, sorry for the crappy shots, two snakes, two distances in opposite directions.

Here's a garter and a Texas spotted whiptail from down the road.

Great post, Todd! I have never seen indigos feeding in the wild, and rarely have seen others feeding (garters and water snakes mostly), so this seems like a very special event, to me. Nice non-indigo finds also.
In response to your question... Shamefully very little, aside from moving around and watering some brumating rat snakes.

I did that last night, snakes are up in the front room and snoozin' in the back room, I will probably move some to the back room tomorrow, I cannot get the front room cool enough, so the neo's and yearlings can stay up and eat!

VERY nice, man! 1st week in January, and you're STILL at it- my hero!!!
It was BEAUTIFUL up here today- ALL blue skies, and prob 75, but stuck at home all day, caring for a pair of kids with strep throat!
I did manage to take a couple of my captives out for some shots in the sun- going to post as soon as I get them pulled/posted!

haha, a couple days with Mr. Mom should put them right on their feet! Show 'em if you got 'em!

Don't you ever take a break? LOL
Great action shots. I can't wait to hit the field this spring and lose a few of these "holiday" pounds I've put on sitting here staring at a computer monitor to get my herp fix!

haha, I am fat and sassy as well, and just now coming down from the triptophan! I live, breath, eat and sleep herping! If I could get a job doing it, I'da been there years ago! I am blessed to have these few sites close by, and these snakes are great to work with, out whenever there is a hint of sun. Makes me wonder if they are more cold tolerant than we know or their black scales allow them to warm up when lighter colers can't. Thanks man, hope to get down to your neck sometime, I would love to see mountain kings, calkings and rosy and rubber boas! One day a hunt for Baja rats as well!
