Oscar, You would have to have a valid fishing license to keep one since it's a California native.

Ah thanks man. Sadly I will have to make it up to my wife in some incredible way I'm yet to think of, but this was the weekend from hell. Work is getting way too crazy (err busy), and well, we had a fun sat but I worked the whole day today and am working the whole day tomorrow...

Anyhow, let me know, well, let's check schedules and plan something, I wouldn't mind me some more herps.... crap, it's started. :p

Only annulata occur as far South as we were. I don't recommend keeping these guys.

HEllo All,

Eric and Kyle I see you guys had a fun time walking in the dark dessert looking for critters.

Nice pictures of the snakes too.

Eric, why wouldn't you recomend keeping this snakes?

What makes them difficult?

feeding habits?

Most people I know have had bad luck with them. They don't last long for them for some reason.

Its neat to have a snake that eats crickets though. Also another neat thing I learned about them a year ago is that they seem like they have a resistance to scorpion venom.

Well, contact folks in the SWHS (www.swhs.org) to get care advice -- I know there are some folks there who have them.

Someone brought one into a pet shop I used to work at. She laid eggs (They were so small I didn't notice them), and I had her for two years.

She ate roaches, crickets, guppies, a lot of things. One of my favorite natives to California.

Yeah, A SW herps guy has had one for awhile like Celeste said. He is good with natives. Some people keep them way too hot I think. I knew some kids in Baja who had them as pets and told me they live forever and breed for them!!!
