Laid Back Lounge / Re: animals in your life
Last post by billy rubin - May 01, 2024, 10:40:43 PMtoday i was emptying a garbage compactor in west virginia, and there was an old goose decoy stuck down by the chain link fence. then i looked again and the decoy was looking back at me.
grus canadensis. pretty common. this one is late with the eggs, there were five under him/her (theyre monomorphic and mate for life). normally the eggs are out in february, and here it is walpurgisnacht already.

Last post by billy rubin - May 01, 2024, 10:19:46 PMthey are really elegant snakes. lampropeltis triangulum. i remember them from many years ago in oklahoma, iirc. milk snakes, king snakes, lots of common names which i cant keep track of. lampropeltis is good enough for me.
the pattern is pretty constant, but there is great variety in how dark or light each of the parts is. but consistently theres a dark stripe outlined in black, against a light background. and some have bright red stripings.
dont see em a lot in daytime, unlike the rat snakes, which are happily unafraid of anything. theyre constrictors. currently there are 24 subspecies in various places, named for their different colours. theyll eat mice and frogs and lizards and other snakes.
i wish they were more common. the young ones are gorgeous, bright red stripes. i found one on the floor of a fast food place-- a mcdonalds-- a few years ago. the width of a pencil and about as long. took it out to th eweeds.
we have a a decent variety of snakes here but you mostly have to go looking for them to catch them out.

What am I to make of that?
Blasphemy is a thing of theirs.

It's decent but he needs create his own stuff if he ever wants to make it.
