Time to start thinking about getting ready for work. Not looking forward to this at all. Still no word on if they're gonna make us work Friday night or not. At least this is the last week before our vacation shutdown.

They have babies in April and early May. We have several litters at the Center now - even the babies can spray, so we have to be very quiet and move slowly around them. To pick them up for feeding we tuck their tails under their legs.
The markings are the same on males and females. You have a striped skunk, not a spotted one. Those are the only two found in North America. Males travel alone and are usually 19" long when full grown. No one seems to know how you go about measuring a skunk, so I wouldn't advise trying.
If you live trap it, you'd have to drape the trap with dark cloth to keep it from spraying you when transporting. And needless to say, I would NEVER put a skunk - caged or otherwise - into a Monte Carlo!!!!!
