Born seemingly human in Arizona sometime in the mid 1800's and raised by cattleherds as a foundling, Felix Santiago Carrow never knew his true parentage. A problem child from a young age, Felix would grow up to become a notorious outlaw, racking up an extensive criminal record until his capture at age 34, which in turn lead to his execution for his crimes. Before his hanging, he swore to return from the grave, and that he'd bring Hell with him when he did. He was buried in a shallow grave, the noose still around his neck. Little to anyone's knowledge, including his own, he had vampiric blood latent in his veins, awakened by his untimely death. A month after his burial, he rose from the dead, ready to fulfill his promise...

Finally made a new ref for this old OC o' mine! He's been long overdue for one lol.

I also have an underwear version of this up on my FA account for those who are interested and over the age of 18! Nothing too scandalous but I still didn't want to risk posting to the mercy of the Tumblr flagging system.

Animal education at the museum received some new young snakes. This is Benny, a bullsnake, and he has the most saddest weepest eyes I swear.

Bullsnake is done!

(A little more yellow on the head than I intended, but it's ink and watercolor and it's on the paper and I have to take it in for work tomorrow, so I can't take it back now)

Art of an adopt I made (and sold). People really liked her vs when I made her in 2018. If people are interested, I might make more sonic-style adopts. Plus it's pretty fun.

Was weighing Stephen the other day since I had him out to clean his enclosure and he has maxed out the scale!

It just says EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Me: *walks into snake room*

Me: Ugh, it stinks. One of the boas must have taken a huge dump.

Boas: Don’t look at us.

The real culprit:

No regrets.

10 October 2023 - Friday Field Notes

Fall is here. The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. Got to spend some time at one of the other offices this week. All the leaves are starting to change and I haven't seen this little lady in a while.

This bullsnake is an education animal, not a pet. I know they're cute, but wildlife needs to stay wild and should not be kept as pets.

These tansy asters are some of the late blooms you'll find on the prairie. Many native flowering plants have staggered bloom cycles, some flowering plants bloom as early as Apri, if conditions are favorable, while others species bloom as late as October or November. In biodiverse rich ecosystems, you should be able to see flowers throughout the season at different times. They take turns sharing the stage. This not only reduces competition between plant species, but also allows wildlife species to utilize resources throughout the growing season. Healthy ecosystems are good at supporting all the things in it. Can you spot the bee?

Most plants out here have gone to seed though, like the sunflowers, showy milkweed, and the false boneset.

And it also means time to harvest and eat stuff. Strawbaby from the garden, a cultivated plant, and common ground cherry, found growing out on the prairie.

(@irrigone finally found some ground cherries that were ripe enough to eat! They have the consistency of a tiny grape and they kinda taste like sweet tarts candy. Not bad. Ate a couple and didn't die 👍 Would recommend as a light snack.)

Exoskeleton of a plains lubber and some fringe sage. One of my fav plants out here, smells delightful.

And one of my not so favorite plants (at least out here, totally cool if found in its native home range) Mullein is a biennial plant, meaning it has a two year life cycle, and it's an invasive weed in my neck of the prairie, and arguably, the rest of the Great Plains and grassland habitats in N. America. The first year it grows as a basal rosette, close to the ground. Basal plants grow from the root base as opposed to forming new tissue towards the top. Most grasses grow this way too, which is why you can mow it without killing the whole plant. Same thing with mullein. In order to make sure the plant does grow back during manual removal you have to pull up the tap root as well.

The second year they'll flower, and produce these massive flower stalks that produce hundreds of seeds. And they're all tiny. Some stalks can get up to 3-4 feet tall and produce thousands of seeds that stay viable in the ground for years. It's no wonder they get everywhere and are so hard to manage.

Invasive species can take over ecosystems if left unchecked and reduce the biodiversity and overall health of native habitats.

Weed management strategies and good land stewardship practices help support wildlife. Like these pronghorn. Wildlife will stick around in habitat if they can get the resources they need to survive and thrive.

Pronghorn, often referred to as antelope, are actually more related to giraffes than antelope. They're also the second fastest land animal in the world and can reach sustained running speeds of 55mph. They prefer wide open grassland habitat.

Fall is rutting season, so all the boys have been extra feisty lately and chasing everyone around. Been getting a lot more stare downs from them lately.

Bullsnake

 Enclosure: 

Adults need to be housed in a minimum of 40 x 18 in or 4 x 2 x 2 ft (floor space) in cages, but bigger is better

Hatchlings can be alright in a 10 gallon tank and juveniles can live in a 24 x 18 in floor space enclosure

They need a humidity between 40-60%

UVB is optional, but has benefits

They need an average temperature in the 75-80 degree F range (heating pad or lamp) and have a warmer side of about 85 degrees F

Lots of ventilation is needed

Babies need smaller cages, then upgrade them as they grow up (can use plastic totes as they grow)

They need enrichments and hides such as caves (one on cool side and one on warm), logs, branches, driftwood, etc.

Substrates can be paper towels, puppy pads, etc. for juveniles especially

Substrates can also be aspen bedding, cypress mulch, coconut fiber, etc. as long as it isn’t cedar or pine

You can provide a humid box hide to help them shed

A clean water dish needs to be present at all times and should be cleaned every other day or whenever dirty

A day and night cycle is needed

Spot clean daily, entirely disinfect every 2 weeks

Diet/feeding habits:

They need to eat prey that is only a bit bigger than the thickest part of their body

Hatchlings should eat roughly pinky mice every 5 days

Juveniles can eat fuzzy mice to fuzzy rats as they grow once a week

Adults can eat full grow rats every 7-10 days

Age identification:

They live 20-25 years on average

Physical traits:

Constrictors and abboreal

The average adults size is about 4-6 feet, but they can grow to 8 feet

No details of breeding, but females can lay up to 30 eggs

Many morphs exist, but most are light brown or yellow with white or black blotches

Juveniles will shed more than adults and increase humidity during shed before lowering again

Personality:

Babies are very snippy, but may calm as they get more handled

They hiss and false strike when threatened

Very food driven and quick to strike if hungry

They are known as “aggressive” snakes, but they will become tame in time

They may also rattle their tails if threatened

Every snake is different, so some might be sweeter than others. Some bullsnakes are utter sweethearts, but most are cautious and defensive

Health concerns:

Stuck shed can lead to dead tissue, so during their time of shed make sure humidity is higher and maybe provide a humidity box for them

Snake Mites may be present and if so, disinfect them of such using proper methods

Blisters result as the heat being too high and the burning themselves

Scale rot result of high humidity

Mouth rot is going to show itself as foaming, wheezing, drool, etc.

Handlings:

Don’t handle after feeding or during feeding time/day because they are incredibly food driven

Scoop them up from their bellies and if they are more temperamental, invest in a snake hook

Be confident when holding them

They will become docile after many handlings and as they grow, but will only calm with handling

They’re out! Saw this big one after I passed him on the trail. Wouldn’t have noticed at all but he hissed at me before moving on. #bullsnake #arizonaoutdoors #snake #hikearizona #picketpostmountain #igarizona https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfzP97PXEu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
