I've had these for a few months, but never taken the trouble to photograph them before. Unfortunately my camera's rubbish!:mad:

Thank you.:) The first one is way off.... flash. The others are a bit off.... artificial light. There is no natural daylight in the UK this weekend!:rolleyes:

Well if they look that good in a "horrible" pic, then they must be stunning in real life, James!

... And fat too!

Yeah, they both just had a really good meal of pinkies and trout pieces.:D

Did anyone notice that the male lacks the distinctive Thamnophis double head-spot?

Didn't notice...I'm now looking at the pictures again, but I think I still don't see it ...:o

The colours are definately a lot stronger in real life :) those photos definately don't do them justice.

Are you sure?

Yes, there is a pale pink area where the spots should be.... but the actual spots are absent. I'll take a better pic when he sloughs.

Maybe 'absent' is a slight exaggeration..... shall we say very poorly defined, and fading with each slough.
Here's a comparison...

Male concinnus, with no clearly defined spots..

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//539/medium/head_spots_2.jpg

Male radix, showing more typical Thamnophis markings.

Well, I'm still not convinced that you can't just call the spots "faint". :) At least there are markings exactly where the spots would be.
adamanteus
03-23-2008, 03:30 PM
Mmmm.... maybe you're right when I look again.:o
We'll see how it goes over the next few sloughs, but I'm convinced they're fading.

This one may be a bit trickier. ;)

"parietal spots"

If I'm not mistaken.:)

Very nice pair of concinnus, James
You must see it like this: when you already take great pics like this, imagine what they would look like when you had a better camera :)
