I called the DNR because I knew one was on the endangered list and it's the western.Lucked out there.Im in Peoria county and I can still smell horse manure if the wind is right.




>>I grew up in central IL. You know? Everything south o'Cook County? :D Actually, St. Clair County. But that was back in the dark ages, duing the times of horses and buggies, and I had NO interest in snakes at the time (shudder).

>>Son-of-a-gun. I'm really a noob to this snake thing and never knew there could be such a difference in Easterns. Live and learn. Whatever, ittiz a very nice snake. Up here, couldn't keep it - and wouldn't want to. They're a species of Special Concern here. Westerns, too. We *do* have a captive Garter at the park, but they're a dime a dozen and it's being used for educational purposes so they were lenient with my "Can we keep it? PLEASE????"

>>I've no interest in breeding. Just want my Kenabec to cuddle and love.

>>Good luck with your program!
