Normal mangrove salt marsh snake.

Red phase

One day, I hope to offer my "brood" the brilliance of natural sunlight under normal living conditions as your pictures depict. All of them look so alive compared to "aquarium" photos under incandescent light.

In the meantime, have you ever (do you) provide prawns to your Mangroves or Gulf S. Marshes? My wife picked some up a while ago for a special weekend dinner so I snagged a few, thawed them and removed the shell. These where initially for my snapper however, I offered one to each of the GSM's as well. For the last few weeks this has become a regular item, off-setting their regular trout meal. My dear lady has for-gone the "special" dinner as the snakes have inherited all household prawns! In fact, she has aquired another bag of (date expired) prawns, cheap, for the little ones. So far all prawns are too large for my Mangroves but that will change shortly, I expect.
