    Jingle Jangle Jingle

    *Liver King voice* i said i wasn’t gonna touch the stuff, haven’t touched the stuff, won’t touch the stuff - i lied

    hehe but yes, introducing my pair of Great Basin locality gophers - Pituophis catenifer deserticola, normal/wild type captive male (“Courier”) and captive female (“Red Lucy”) - i was only able to get pix of Red Lucy because the male slithered right into his den and started playing in the substrate lol but I’ll take some of him later on

    “Red Lucy”:

    (also in case mods are wondering - the thread title, snake names, etc are all Fallout: New Vegas references because the Great Basin territory is actually part of the game)

    also got to hear there little “rattles” while housing them which sounded like little bumble bees and was über kawaii 🥰

    Wonderful additions- I love gopher snakes, also bull snakes- have bred & kept both in the past. And we need more "variety" around here too.

    it’s really a funny turn of events as it’s totally a “i could’ve easily passed on something i’m now totally obsessed with” sort of situation because i had seen them before but didn’t know anything about them and assumed they were more in the corn snake, garter snake, etc category

    then after i got my whole operation planned out i realized i had 2 spots available so i started researching and surfing and just so happened to find Clint from Clint’s Reptiles video on them and was like woah wait a second

    then i saw they were classified as a “large constrictor” which would bring them into my focus (my biz focus is “large constrictors”) THEN i found out they were like the perfect (but harmless) copies of prairie rattlesnakes and was completely sold - originally was going to get this cool San Diego locality pair but then saw the Great Basins and it was a done deal

    absolutely obsessed with gophers and absolutely might be something i explore deeper as i go along my breeding journey

    another cool thing is: with the addition of this pair that means i have a species of large constrictor snake from every continent but Europe and Antarctica - which was a big personal achievement when i did this with arachnids and got all the continents but Antarctica so it’s cool that i’m nearly there with my snake crew too

    I don't think there ARE any in Antarctica, so you probably shouldn't count that one. I have a suggestion for a European candidate-one I used to want myself, years back, after seeing them in a book.

    Elaphe quatuorlineata (common names: four-lined snake, Bulgarian ratsnake) is a member of the family Colubridae. The four-lined snake is a non-venomous species and one of the largest of the European snakes.

    i mean that’s true but who knows maybe there’s giant ice pythons in the unexplored parts

    but those also seem super cool! so far the only Euro species i have seen available is from the Natrix genus but i’ll def keep those in mind also! is also funny that you say this because i thought it would be cool to try to find the largest constrictor species in Germany as kind of a nod to the homelands which i think is Elaphe longissima so same genus that i was thinking! lol

    To me, these seem like a blend of American bull snakes & yellow rat snakes- they have a substantial build, & look intimidating (well, not to me...to me they look cuddly) but supposedly they're fairly mellow. Anyway, I always thought they looked cool, but the downside is they might be hard to find, especially c/b ones, & in the U.S.
