This photo was taken yesterday. This guy was found in late September in the pouring rain crossing a muddy road. It was I believe Baker county. I say it like that because I was following the DeLorme map, trying to follow a planed road cruise route but the map sometimes is not clear as to what connects, is paved or dirt and what turns into goat path.

I encountered all that and torrential rain too. You might say I got detoured from the planned route followed my gut and switched to survival mode when everything went to goat path, in the rain, in the dark. So if I'm a little fuzzy on local you'll understand why. There were points where i followed a compass heading to confirm I'd come out on a specific road and by luck I did.

Oh and did I mention I was alone with no cell coverage.

Ya...that's my kind of stupid.

I did find find a total of 27 snakes that night.

There was another first, a huge green water. It was a nice mossy green. Lots of cottons too.

This little guy has a silver gray head like a gray would and is getting brownish blotches like some do. Its the broken bars or stripes that are going to be interesting as it matures.



Oh I figured as long as i've finally figured out how to post pics i'd give you a peek at my setup. These pics were taken awhile back and it's even better now but you'll get the idea.

I did promise I'd put up pics when I could, better late than never.

There is a shot is what I started with when it was setup in my messy basement.(I don't know what order it'll end up)

The basement is still a mess but there is an oasis that is now the reptile room.
