Photographed a nice Dekayi again (in the wild)

As I first found her, sprawled out wide soaking up some sun.



Startled by the camera, she gets a little defensive..



Even though she's big by Dekayi standards, the ear of corn illustrates just how small this species of snake really is.

She was a plump girl, I'll bet she had a litter this year.

Like I said, by DK standards, she was a big girl.

Those photos are deceiving! I thought that was a really big snake until I saw it next to the corn...

Their babies....



This one is just about two months old in the pic, the food item is a pinkie leg broken off a frozen mouse, the silver thing is standard medical hemostats.

The mother was not much bigger than a pencil and she had 18 babies! No eggs, live birthing.

I would be scared to hold something that small. Adorable, but I would be so afraid of hurting it.

Re: Photographed a nice Dekayi this morning

I'm afraid to put my little ball Pika on the ground outside in fears of losing him... your snake is even smaller than that... don't you worry? I'm a bit paranoid o.O

I feel the same way. But I just took my adult garter out yesterday for the first time. I needed some natural light for pictures... DAMN I got the best pictures I've ver gotten of him, and he loved it.

I have a big front yard, and am comfortable with my "snake wrangling" skills... So I knew he couldn't get award even if he tried. I doubt you'd lose an albino visually, and I doubt she could get away from you.

I guess you're right... it's not hard to spot a bright yellow and white snake in a green field. The weather is getting too chilly here for me to take him out for outdoor pics...so unless the weather gets any better, outdoor pics will have to wait until the spring! Thanks for the reassurance though!
