12f, you don't know much about snakes so be careful around that guy. He can actually kill a fellow if he wants to.

Is this snake poop? It's about 2 1/2 inches long. The white looks like urate to me.
Tasted like pork. What does that mean?
Question- Are morphs something seen in the wild or is that a purely bred in captivity thing? When my son and I were into snakes we would see some amazing morphs but I couldn't justify the cost (even though I spent $250 on a tarantula).

Morphs are naturally occurring genes that are selectively bred to get you unique variations of ball pythons or corn snakes or whatever... those genes exist in nature but many, like albinism, make the animal more susceptible to premature death.
Some of these things exist in the wild but on a 1000th of a percent as you see in captivity. Especially the extremely specific patterns or shades... the odds are astronomically low you would have some of the specialty pythons in the wild.
Think dogs.... if no one bred them and they just ran the street, what are the odds they would look like a Chihuahua or Great Dane over generations? Not likely.

Good...my meter needs calibration this am.
Ah ok. I was just curious. Thanks!

It's probably just scared of you! Poor little snake.
Pro tip - snakes avoid anything with scatalogical curiosity.

So I didn't find these, but apparently they are a pretty neat find. Perry south Ontario Canada is where they were found.
They look like giraffes!
You should domesticate them
Massassagua?
Correct.

Ha ha. Too funny. I beat you to it.
Full disclosure- Dodger's wife is my wife's cousin.
That's a keeper
They probably ought to turn that guy back loose, there's a reason he's inside the school house, and it ain't for the English lessons
The Salado Fight Rat Snakes! I like it.
There's a bigger one hanging out in the gymnasium. They collect the skins but haven't seen him in the flesh, yet.
Are you old enough to remember the breakdown of a certain biology teacher over a snake?
Schools are giant rat magnets, back when I taught it was nothing to see one trucking down a hall way after hours. And this was in a newer campus. The older campuses were way worse.
No. But many memories from back then have faded.
Misty watercolored memories...

This particular school just turned 50 y/o. Several OBers graced its hallways.
