Hi from France

[aaren]

Hello all, i'm from France, got 4 thamnophis ( sirtalis parietalis and proximus proximus ) but only females with a low weight. I'm student but my english is pretty bad :D. At home there is also 8 others snakes' species. :)

Welcome to our forum from Connecticut!

Thanks everybody, they didn't have been weel feeded before i bought them between august from january, the proximus proximus is about 40g; the 1st parietalis is about 65g, the second is about 32g and the third about 26g only. They are about 3 years each :(. For the moment i feed them with pinkies ( from mices for the smallers, rats for the biggers ) and fish.

[aaren]

The fish are from fishing market, the scientific name is Phoxinus phoxinus but i don't know how to translate it, they are fish from none salted water.

Welcome to the forum.
If they are all 3 years old it does sound like they haven't been feeding well. I expect with regular feeding on pinkies you will see them increase their weight fairly quickly.

Sorry, I haven't spoken French since I left school so translating that paragraph is beyond my skills. Your English is fine though.

[aaren]

Thanks, yes people who got them before me were afraid from them, they judged them too speedy and agressive, so they didn't want to feed them correctly to keep a relative control on them ...:mad: They already have take a few weight at home and the last month was the better one, hope it will continue this month :) Thanks but you didn't have to translate i understand better than when i wrote :D

Hello, welcome to the 'Tham-ily'!
Your English is certainly better than my French, and you'll find that this group is extremely kind and forgiving of language, typing and spelling difficulties.
I'd also love to see pictures of your snakes, and I hope they will eat well and thrive under your care.

ETA: Ohh, you already posted pictures! Very very pretty! I like the pattered striping on the obsoletta and the lovely markings on the male zamenis situla particularly. I'm googling right now to see what the common English names of these species are, as I'm not familiar with them.

[aaren]

Thanks :D

[EasternGirl]

Beautiful snakes! A wonderful group you have. Yes, don't worry about your English...it is fine. We have many members that speak languages other than English on the forum. Thank you for sharing your photos of your snakes.
