.....for the great green rat info. Although Eric put up the original post on the triaspis, I'm very interested in studying this species in the wild. Where I went in the Santa Ritas, there were grasses, a few occotillo, sotol, etc, but not much mesquite. Instead there were quite a few oaks. I thought they looked great for a climbing ratsnake, but now I guess green rats don't climb too much. Was I up too high for triaspis, about 4200 to 6000 feet? By "upper edge", did you mean the upper desert life zone? This is about 3,000 to 4500 feet, I think.

Thanks again, Rich. Maybe I'll see ya sometime in AZ. Do you live near the Santa Ritas by chance? Also, have you tried to keep any? How do you deal with the parasites? Let me know if you care to talk some more. You can email me if you don't want to put it on the forum. Terry.
