Nothing like seeing the real thing where they belong. Mother nature did a nice job on all of them. Nice pics and hope you had a good trip. Weren't you the one I recommended go to the city dump? You never would have lived that aniversary down lol.

no that wasnt me, i saw that post once i got back and thought it probably would be a great place to hunt snakes. i actually used to hunt near a dump in southern calif back in the early 80's and did pretty good on gopher snakes,cal kings and red racers over there, makes sense now. these 4 females (but not the male) all have pink in their sides that doesnt really show up in the pics.the first female pictured had the most and really changed my opinion on mexican BCI, i really want some now (they were all fairly mellow as well). the owner of the park told me that during the rainy season they are fairly common early morning or late afternoon, the big dark female actually came from the resort we were staying at. he caught it and put it into the back of the suburban when he was picking up hotel guests. they were all freaking out as it slithered under the seats.
