If they are still looking for seeds, please feel free to email me for my address. I would love to help them get more seeds that they are looking for or interested in. If you don't see something on my list, email me anyways as I have to update it. I have peppers, squash, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, green beans & yellow wax beans, pumpkins & garlic avail. If they want to trade too, let me know :)

Actually, Racers are NOT constrictors; they just overpower prey and either kill it by biting and chewing, or swallow it alive. Neither Racers or their close relatives, the Coachwhips and Whipsnakes, will constrict, though I have seen both use a section of their body to "pin" a prey item against an object while they get a good grip on it with their jaws. I have never, in nearly a lifetime of keeping snakes, seen a Racer, not a Black Racer, anyway, eat another snake, although Coachwhips will do so, especially in a captive situation, since they go into "feeding frenzy" mode at feeding time and will swallow anything that moves!The Green Racer will eat lizards, so it could have mistaken a baby Bullsnake for a lizard. Both Pituophis(Bull, Pine and Gopher snakes)and Coluber(Racers)are egg-layers, though at two feet, a Bullsnake is WAY too young to breed. Bulls mature rather slowly unless "power fed" in captivity. A Bullsnake is a good 20 inches long right out of the egg, so a two-footer probably would not even be a year old yet, unless food has been really scarce. The earliest I've had Bulls breed(and this is in captivity, with better food and more of it than they'd get in the wild)is three years, and that was a male. I would not have considered breeding a female at that age. The two-footer seen by the original poster most likely had eaten a large meal. Most of the time, snakes DO eat prey head-first, but not always. Fast-moving snakes like Racers and Coachwhips tend to grab and swallow any way they can. Snakes do vomit, often due to stress. A snake that feels threatened with regurgitate a recent meal in order to move more quickly, and sometimes, snakes swallow things that are just too big for them, and have to puke it up. Bullsnakes often put on a good show of being fierce, and nine times out of ten, it's all bluff. Even if they do bite, they will do no more than leave a couple of pin-pricks, and I've been bitten by a big one! Sharon McKenzie

"One study showed about 6% of the water in the leaves were from fog in some trees. " Right, so the notion that they "need" this source of moisture is romanticized pseudoscience. Just because something happens, doesn't mean that this is the cause of everything else that happens. If they could merely subsist on the fog, then why haven't they reached 600', 700', or 800'? In fact since their range goes up to 2500', the right magical fog clearly exists at that altitude, too, and trees at ground level should be able to reach 2800' at least! LOL. Any moisture loving plant can grow better, or faster in a moist climate. Duh on that. But to specifically say that these trees can only reach that height because the fog is the _only _reason they can reach that height, is the height of absurdity! If you plotted standard deviations of soil moisture and drought with tree heights around the world - guess what you'd find? The places with plentiful, consistent soil moisture and rainfall are going to have the taller trees...and the places without tropical storms the really tallest trees. The sugi of Japan top out a bit above 200' - as would the redwoods of California if they had monsoon thunderstorms and typhoons to deal with. And guess what happens in climates with very consistant moisture that don't have the tropical waves and ridging/troughing - well they are maritime climates and by definition will have fog. The fog is associative, not causative, for the tall redwood trees. The only competition is Eucalyptus regnans, which, guess what, comes from moderately elevated areas with consistent rainfall and atmospheric moisture. (my brief google research suggests Tasmania is not known for thick summer fogs, but it is certainly wet, and w/o California's summer dry season. In fact, its native range _doesn't_ include the NW coast which is probably the foggiest part of Tasmania.) And guess what their upper limit is in spite of being morphologically completely different from conifers? About 400 ft! The fact is you won't find many other places in the world that have soil moisture as consistent as redwood coast, and the right temperature parameters, and the right absence of storms, lightning and high winds. But if you did, they could also reach 400' there. This post was edited by davidrt28 on Fri, Jan 2, 15 at 23:59
