...an outdoor enclosure is a joy...

Wow, I cant believe how wary my w/c enclosure coachwhips [Ok] have been...4... 2 years now
They eat like pigs, especially live chicks, but all sorts of f/t DoR stuff is gobbled too, see below
If I even get out the back door they retreat into their rocky fortress
I'd hoped they'd be regularly out; full length sunning & cruising about...
The jpg doesnt do em justice...bone & salmon-red; 5 & 6'
This is a fat meter & then some.. mojave...heading into the recycler..
The jpg was shot out through the (closed) master-bedroom window @ ~ 8 m distance...

I hope they'll eventually allow close observation...

I go to AZ and rains scare off the mojaves! I found 1, DOR, and you post this!? AHH! Just kidding, awesome picture. Do you literally mean W/C habitat like you set the rock piles up and such? I always wanted to do the same.

Pretty awesome.

Maybe that's where those baby regalis ran off to.

Hmm. I still have this pic in my gallery.
