xwife has a couple in her garage. some of them can be very pretty. thanks for sharing!

i have some spots in the sierras for rubber boas. at certain times of the year they can be pretty common. the neonates are a very pretty orange color around here! love it! learning about the habitat they prefer is a good step in finding them, joining the local herp society can be a great way to...
