I'm going to hazzard a guess that you live in the SLC valley (or thereabouts). I could never get a WC Great Basin gopher to eat in captivity and thus never kept anything but a single CB male. Incidentally, the gophers were the only snakes to ever scare me as a kid; there was nothing like being eye-to-eye with a five-footer hissing and assuming the S-shape.

I love the genus, though, and just acquired a Kankakee bull.
