What really made me think Western Worm Snake was how it probbed and attempted to jab my finger with it's tail, a behaviour descibed with the worm snake. Do the other species named also engage in this defense mechanism?

Looks like a Worm Snake (Carphophis vermis), but was found a couple hundred miles outside of it's distribution range. (Texas Dist Map , I am about 4 counties west and 1 south of highlighted area.) It does have the divided anal plate, and did use it's tail to jab or probe my hand (see photo)...

Best advice - dont let the slings escape.

What about some species of rat snake? Liots of very interesting and attractive possibilities there. http://www.ratsnakes.com/gallery.html The Mexican Nightsnake is probably going to get on my to buy list. Saw one at a show and it was pretty cool. Recently we got a pair of Trinket Snakes...

Anyone know of a dealer and/or have a caresheet?

I can't tell. Much too small for my poor old eyes to see that level of detail. The little darling could fit on my thumbnail with room to spare. Gotta wait for it to grow up a bit.

A friend at work brought me a baby scorp today that she caught around her house. It is far too small for me to see any readily identifying marks, but I will take photos when I get it home and see if that can help other than that it is transparent yellow with a brown back, telson, and pincers. It...

I want to bring one to work. Not a good idea though. The girl in payroll is deathly afraid of bugs of any kind. I have to go move bugs from near her door so she can exit her office if they wander in. So If I had a T in my office then I might never get paid again. One time at home she tore her...

I lucked into what I think is a male E. pachypus. It's back legs are more proportional to the rest of the legs, and they do not appear to be in the process of regenerating. Here is hoping!

Incubus in the last round. And since this is a photo competition I am looking more at photography skill and being neutral on specimen. Here is what made the choice for me, while Prizz used depth of field to mute the distracting background and bring focus to the subject, the focus plane was...

There is no K in mile, you should check your spelling more carefully.

Have had plenty of hamsters get out.

Becca suggested a heat source and that seems good. Never had to find an escapee, but the plan I have formulated from other accounts is a warm red bulb in a desk lamp over a sticky trap with the ac cranking (or heat off given time of year). Of course there are other warm cozy places, like behind...

Just gotta say that the P.imp Daddy thing made milk come out my nose.

We have a male and female and this is their offspring, the eyes are not even open yet. The male was nuetered after they mated so this is the only one for us.

The joey is officially OOP as of Saturday. Here is his first baby picture....

Thats Bob.

And wouldn't the crows learn to not eat them after the first couple?

CNN Article Let's hope Al Queda doesn't learn of these! </sarcasm>
