If you look close, they always have their cheeks flared out, and are always posed to strike.
Virtually every Infernalis I have worked with was high strung and mean.

I always laugh when I feed them, they act like they prefer my hands over the mice.

Re: My Avatar
They are semi aquatic, they generally live near creeks, wetlands and swamps, They are especially fond of tadpoles when first born.
In fact, when I "train them" to eat the pinkie mush, I chop up a little trout in it to give it that fish smell.

Re: My Avatar
I found a garter snake once teaching my sister how to fish for baby trout in this small pond that I found. Snake just slides in like its the air and snatches one out no problem, made me look foolish lol. Here I am with cheese and a string lol. She enjoyed it though. Heck, so did I! Now I've seen a garter eating a frog, a mouse, and a fish. Oh and slugs but they're not exciting, I think they actually help the snake eat it... Tentacled water snakes are cool to watch fish, they scare them with one part of their body, predict the movement and the fish practically swims into their mouths. Super cool, I wish I could explore fish feeding even more. Something I'd be ok with feeding live, just to watch what the snake does... I really prefer the san fancisco variety to the infernalis myself, are they readily available as well? Having a hard time finding anything on them, and thats rare for me lol. Perhaps I should join the thamnophis forum now... I like too many things!!! Caylan.S.
