Thought I would snap a pic of my old NJ Eastern before he takes his winter nap.

keith-
i think i remember you were concerned about him last spring, i don't remember if it was eating or hibernation issues. regardless i hope he arrives on the other side of winter ready to demolish many more rodents.

Ive only had him for a little over 3 years now. I was told he doesnt eat during the summer months and always looks like he is knockin on deaths door by Fall. This held true for the 1st 2 years then this year he went off feed for 3 weeks and then ate thru the whole summer and fall. He looks better than ever so maybe he is stickin' around for awhile yet. Here is a pic from mid summer.

Very Very Nice Eastern... I'm NOT a big fan but he's a really good looking snake... I'll have to ad one to my collection when I get my own place and have enough space.
Thanx for share'n!
