Idaho Great Basin Gopher Clutch

Five huge gorgeous eggs!


I mis-typed “west” of Boise in my original post, Black’s Creek is off I84 East of Boise, she was caught less than a mile off the exit, north of the interstate just past the returning westbound on-ramp. Picture from May 29th below:

She, like every wild gopher snake I’ve ever made an acquaintance of, ate a frozen thawed mouse within one day of being collected.

I checked back on the dates, and it looks like we picked her up May 26th, 2021, so she was almost certainly gravid at the time.
