Ya, finally found a local guy. It's been running 102-107 lately here so no way I was going to have anything shipped. I'll take better photos later on when they get a bit bigger. They are pretty tiny right now. Eating great though!

Found a very interesting thing out the other day....I was handling the girls cleaning and moving stuff around, finished with them...then moved on to my Cal King cage to spot clean his....boy did he start smelling something on me. He was just a flickering away, he's been very shy since I got em. But I saw a side of him never seen before. He picked up on a smell from the Hog's and was very attentive. He's not fed in his inclosure, but boy did he pick up on a slight scent...it was pretty cool to see that!

Oh they are GORGEOUS! Congrats. Perfect color. Can't go wrong with a rusty red-brown hog!

You got a lot of cojones going near a king after touching another snake. Cals are the best. What kind is it? Cheers!

"Go for it."

I got a few ball pythons and a metric f***ton of colubrids.

No not at all, he's very shy! He just perked up smelling them, at least that's what I think. As for having anything on me from the 2 Hog's it couldn't have been much...as I was just moving them and cleaning up a bit. I'll experiment a bit more next time I'm in his cage.

Being tagged by a little guy like him...naaa that's not thing. Now a big ole Boa that's another thing..that actually hurts!

I was in and out of his cage fast, I was only changing his water and moving his rock around. Now if he'd started to come out of his hide (which he never does while I'm inside his cage)I would have been even much faster than I was in the first place. lol

I'm not keeping him long, I hope...he's ok but I just took him in because his previous owner was going to let him loose in the woods.
Have you ever been tagged by a snake? I've been tagged many times from wild ones...only once from one of my own though.

Oh he's a Cailf Banded guy...
