rubrilineatus

[BUSHSNAKE]

Thamnophis proximus rubrilineatus. This is such an awesome snake, one of my favorites. Shes a wild caught from 2009 i recieved her from shannon culp and she takes unscented pinks no problem...better then fish. I only have a female and its been hard finding a male, i may have to take a trip to Texas.

very nice snake !!

[BUSHSNAKE]

thanks, in my opinion rubrilineatus is one of the most attractive Thamnophis species. nobody in the states is breeding this species:mad:

I've been contacting every reptile store in town trying to order some in. They were really popular here a little while ago and now it seems that they are harder to find. I remember seeing a peninsula ribbon for $7 at a local store! Cant believe I passed it up.

Wasn't Shannon working with these guys?

Beautiful. I've considered having ribbons in the past, but the captive-bred supply seems to be pretty limited.

Too limited. I will do my part to remedy that problem in the future.
I just need a breeding age male T.p.orarius (Gulf Coast Ribbon)

The demand for ribbons is very low and there really isnt many people collecting wild reptiles anymore because theres allready a flood of captive bred herps of all kinds, seemes like the demand for any wild herps is very low

My local pet shop usually has WC greens and ribbons for about $15. I think they come in from Louisiana.

I might take a few wild snakes for myself, but I refuse to support anyone who makes a living "harvesting" reptiles.

Awesome Joe!!
thanks Jason

That's Shannon Hammer now.:D Not "miss" ;)

Way cool snakes. I've seen them in pet stores here occasionally but they always look so sickly, I've never purchased one. Didn't really feel the need either, with all the cool (and healthy) garters around here.

Ouch, that's highway robbery. They're $5 to $9.99 here when they have them, but a lot of them don't make it. They die in the pet stores or are very unhealthy and emaciated usually, with feeder goldfish sitting in their water dish.

...she was looking good eating

[guidofatherof5]

She does look like she's a good eater. Do you have to scent the pinks?

[ProXimuS]

Nice pics! She really is cool. Out of curiosity, how big is she?

[BUSHSNAKE]

@ Steve - nope she just takes them as is

@ Proximus - i dont know how big she is shes very high strung and the last thing i wanna do is restraine her just to measure her shes just now starting to trust me, but i would guess she has to be full grown, she had a litter in '09

she has green ,yellow, orange and blue coloration...theyre awesome!

[katach]

She is beautiful!

[BUSHSNAKE]

thanks kat;)

[thamneil]

Does she take worms to?

[BUSHSNAKE]

i dont do worms
