Thamnophis hammondii

[BUSHSNAKE]

also known as the two striped garter snake, not flashy in coloration but a handsome snake, very rare in collections. pics are of male and female and some belly shots cuz i like their bellies

[BUSHSNAKE]

and the male, he's more classic looking with the yellow on the sides and is unrelated to female

[guidofatherof5]

That female looks dekayish.:D

Are their bellies as orange as they look in the photos? Those are really neat!

Joe and I have discussed this many times. One of the first things we both do when we pick up a snake is flip it over and look at it's belly!!! Even though you never see a snake's belly it is one of my favorite things about a snake.

i was thinking of you when i wrote that:)

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Awesome snakes Joe! That female is real neat looking.

[BUSHSNAKE]

thanks, they are in brumation now, im hoping they will breed for me

[RedSidedSPR]

Argh!! Where are they all coming from!?

[BUSHSNAKE]

These are out of brumation so i took some updated pictures. I got these from Steven Bol and are rare in collections worldwide. These are the only pair in U.S. collections. They are not flashy in color but that doesnt matter to me at all! I love the female, she has these redish eyes that contrast with her greenish blue coloration.

[guidofatherof5]

Flashy not needed, still beautiful.

[katach]

Awesome snakes Joe!! You have a wonderful collection, I'm jealous. :)

[RicMartin]

I can't wait to see their offspring, good luck with this breeding project Joe!

Lovely snakes, and their coloration is not unlike a lot of natrix
