Sweet finds. I'm glad you release them after the pics. Though I would really be tempted to fatten the second one up before letting it go, it looks so skinny.

LOL- I know. If the economy was better and I wasn't spending wayyyy tooo much already feeding my own collection, I would have gave it a few adult mice and then returned it...just couldn't afford to with money being so tight. The area I hunt isn't heavily traveled and there's a bunch of cotton rats & field mice. I have never seen a super skinny (starving) snake on the road like you see out in the arid regions sometimes. They do pretty cood around here most the time...

I was blown away when I saw the silverleaf my buddy caught. KJ flipped out too... Glad KJ was able to prove it out genetic! Out of ~60 Kistachies I've found over the years, none have been abbarent. I've hatched out a few WC clutches a few years back with nothing odd... sooner or later I'll hopefully find something really odd/cool.

A 10 yr. old kid in Austin walked into the local exotic pet store where my friend works earlier this week with a ~30" ALBINO EASTERN HOGNOSE that he'd caught by his house...talk about LUCKY- I saw two cell phone pics my buddy snapped of the snake. They didn't wanna trade/sell it even though they were told it'd probably only eat toads... hopefully if they can't feed/care for it they'll bring it back to tthe store... It would be amazing to get it established in the hobby. Looked really white with DARK ruby eyes...maybe a T+ albino (but it didn't have much color like it should have)...hard to see details in crappy cell phone pics... my jaw dropped. One day I'll find something amazing like that!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Years ago back home we came across someone who worked at a bar that we hung out at every once in a while. Her boyfriend found a young Albino Gray Racer, not very popular in the pet trade, but still a very cool looking snake.
I offered her $100 for it and she wouldn't take it, even though this snake wouldn't feed for her and the worst case ended up a realitly. She kept this snake in hopes one day it would finally eat and it perished. She knew nothing about snakes and we gave her advice, but apparently didn't take it.

Always seems people not that much into snakes find the really cool things in the wild huh?

You know, I would love to catch some Kistachie corns. I hope that one day I can make it out and do some actual herping... The stuff I do around here is sad....LOL

Whatever, New Mexico is filled with AMAZING herps- hognose, desert kings, BANDED ROCK RATTLESNAKES, Blacktail Rattlesnakes, etc. I LOVE New Mexico herping- you just have to get out in the right areas. :)

I wish I could get out to the right places. I haven't had the time to even get out to Box Canyon and that is only about 15 miles out... Oh the curse of going to school full time, year round...LOL
