Hi,
Tomorow the snakes are being shipped off. He says that he will send me some worm snakes, and another Northern brown snake. I am delighted. The Carphophis are enchanting enough, but Northern browns are my favorite North American species. It may sound silly to like such a "Common" snake, but while they may be abundant, they certainly should never be overlooked. The one that I have right now is a majestic, yet small, jewel of wonder.They may look plain, but can still be beautiful. Each has it's own little personality. They are very fascinating to observe, friendly, and easy to care for.
I am concerned about this species locally. I used to find so many that I took it for granted. Now I certainly care... to get the full story, you shold read a post that I am about to add to the field notes and observations forum. But just to warn you, it's very long...
