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...

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

She's a wild snake.. I just took her picture and left her alone.

My biggest snake collection is the uncountable numbers that live on my property, it's my big all natural snake viv.

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.
