DO NOT ask me to shoot this gang again. This is the first shot, and two heads were missing from the second shot. That was just seconds before I nearly dropped the camera to scramble for snakes going in four different directions. The High-white Orange Reverse Okeetee is still M.I.A. Tape traps will hopefully entangle that bugger before morning. Uhhhggghh. Counting heads from the uppermost one in the pic to the lowest, they are: 1) The now MIA Orange High-white Reverse Okeetee, 2) A classic Reverse Okeetee, 3) An Extreme Reverse Okeetee, 4) A High-white Reverse Okeetee. BTW, number 3 is the same general age (within perhaps 15 DAYs) of all the others, but has been on a twice-weekly feeding regimen–compared to once a week for the others. Note how relatively larger he is compared to the others? At this rate, he should be mature enough to breed in 2014.
UPDATE: Found her under a piece of cardboard near the corner of the shop where we toss recycle stuff. I COULD have recycled a perfectly good snake, had she decided to move into one of the boxes in that corner. Note to self – – – don’t send out recycle containers without searching them for snakes.
