Those are really nice lookin.;) I really like how they all look like like they're blushing, with their little rosy cheeks! (epsecially the males)

Those are all very cool! Congrats! Can't wait to see what they produce for you.

You don't often see fitchi do you? They have lovely, subtle colouring. Or to out that another way...

Beautiful plumage. Nod nod, wink wink.

Great looking group Don. Sounds like maybe a breeding project is in the future.:D

Hey Chris, I think he should name one of those snakes Notlob. What do you think?:D

Gorgeous snakes Don! The blushing on the cheeks reminds me of my little concinnus. Just lovely! Thanks for sharing those pics.

You guys are so lucky to live in a country with such diversity of reptiles. Not that I don't apprieciate British Wildlife it's great, however we only have 3 native species of snake. The Grass Snake, Adder and Smooth snake. The Adder is venomous, Smooth Snake is endangered (Think it might be critically) and is practically never seen. That leaves the Grass Snake and they are few and far between, I have never seen one alive although I know people that have in my area. Frustrating I look so hard to find them and yet people that have no interest make the sightings hahaha. One day!

[mikem]

Oh wow, you got a big group! Very nice looking snakes. I'll have to get a few babies from you once they start breeding. Keep us updated! :)

At least two of them are more awesome than garters.

[indigoman]

I was waiting for you to come through on your promise to get some more T. fitchi. You know i have them on my wish list!

[Dan72]

Great looking group Don, much success with them!

It's not that I don't respect the brilliance of our species it's just that we only have one species that could be considered keepable by most of us. Yet, Americans have so many they can keep.

Good looking group Don! Now lets see some babies! :)
