Awesome T.ordinoides - Northwestern

This is Flicker aka Oldman, he is one awesome male Northwestern garter. Hoping he enjoys his time with us. I've grown very fond of Oldman. This photo was after a very large meal of night crawlers. He can be a little on the picky side but for the last 3 weeks he's been eating whatever I offer.

Guessing him to be around 10 years old or more. He's maybe 21 inches.

Actually, he has a very sweet attitude but does have that grumpy old man look to his face. When he's hungry he sits by the front screen and waits for me to walk by. Then he turns on the Northwestern begging powers. With a fridge full of worm right behind me I have no reason not to feed the guy. As a matter of fact all the Northwesterns pull this little stunt. It's a pathetic sight.
