new pics, now hibernation ended

The first: Thamnophis cyrtopisis cyrtopsis.
A nice pile of cyrtopsis, getting a nice than.



And this female is constantly under the spot, so let's hope the best of it!

Secondly: Thamnophis marcianus marcianus.
They were also lying underneath the spot.

A nice overview of the marcianus.

The rest of the close-ups:


And the male already did a try to mate, but he has a lot to learn! A bit to low in my opinion.

But they are having a great time together.

Thirdly: Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus.
The orange female and the green male:

The same female again:

My red female, she's getting ready to shed so I haven't seen her much last week...

And my most secretive ones: Thamnophis hammondii hammondii.

I did some tries, James. I added a lot of green and a lot of hiding spaces in the enlosure. I see them a lot more now, because they feel a lot more secure. But it's quite hard to take nice pictures of them with all the green


During a feeding:

The male, who fled for the female during that feeding:

Very nice photos. I hope you'll have success breeding them.

Very nice photos. I hope you'll have success breeding them.

Thanks Stefan, with a bit of luck I'll have cyrtopsis, concinnus and marcianus. Can't wait!

I tried out something for the pics. I put a sheet of toilet paper before the flash, to lessen it a bit ( not all pics though ). Some of the pics were to dark, but I liked the result overall .

I have tried this before, using fine white muslin. It does soften the flash.
