In Reply to: constricting vs coiling posted by alex on March 01, 2003 at 20:34:09:
My male is from Guyana bloodline and my female is from Honduras. The male has yellow to about half way down the body and then is all black. The female has yellow all the way down to the tipof her tail. She's real pretty and I hope she throws some eggs this year. Spilotes can and do coil up a rodent or chick to catch or hold it. They can also put a strong wrap on a branch to hold while eating a rat suspended about three feet in the air. Good luck with Alex.
:They do coil prey, but that's different from actually cutting off venous return to kill prey. The wandering garters around here coil too, I think it's more of a handling-live-prey-until-you-can-wrap-your-mouth-around it kinda thing
:What locality is yours? The yellow's certainly bright. Mine's cb Nicaraguan and just keeps getting prettier every time he sheds.
:Alex
::W/c. And mine have on occasion constricted live prey. They're pretty stong.
