Wow, he's a pale one, Aaron.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

He'd better not RACE over those rough rocks, or his belly won't be yellow.

Wonder if I'll see the Rubber Boa here again this summer.

What a prize, if you have rubber boas in your area it is almost a sure bet you have western skinks in your area. I have one or two sninks in my yard, but have yet to see a rubber boa here. 😀

I completely forgot rubber boas make it in BC.... I know some people who raised some as pets.

When I was in Calgary, I managed the fish/reptile dept at a pet store. A lady came in one day and we got talking about snakes. For those of you who arent familiar with calgarys climate, picture Aarons, but more unpredictable, and by the books, colder.

We got on the topic of Cali kings, and we got to talking about how well they escape from enclosures. She told me her 5 yr old snake got out, and she didnt see it all summer. We had a relatively cold winter that year, and to her surprise in march, she found it poping out of the ground next to her foundation - fat, healthy and alive! True survivors!

The best was getting a call from the fire department, and having them tell me "we found a komoto dragon, we need to bring it in". Besides me going (wait, what the hell....), I had no idea what they were talkin about. Turns out a ladys savannah monitor escaped a few months before that, and the fire dept found him basking in a bike path, all chilled out.

Had to look up gravid.

Dunno.

Yup, Jesse, cool stories.
Igor, I'll get the hang of the new Flickr to embed photos again.
Not easy to learn new stuff...brain obviously overloaded. 😆 😆
