Introducing Celie and Cedric

[jeanette]

These are my 2 new family members.
Could anyone please tell me what their latin name is please?
Cedric is the one with the more gold to his scales.



my apologies for the poor picture quality those guys move very fast and dont seem to like their picture take and i had to remove the basking light inorder to take the piccys.
Any information you can give me on these guys and where they originate from would be really appreciated.

The pictures are a bit blurry, Jeanette, but they look like Thamnophis radix to me.
Do they look like the snakes in this thread?

Four of the five snakes in those pictures are definitely T. radix, but one looks like something else, possibly a T. sirtalis.

[jeanette]

yes adamantues there is one snake that looks identical to celie in the first thread link and one that looks very close to the male thanks

Stefan they are all pics of the same 2 snakes, its just im a really poor photographer im afraid lol

[Stefan-A]

Okay.

I'd blame the camera, by the way.

[jeanette]

hahaha ive tried blaming the camera before, then my husband gets it out takes a few pictures and gives me "The Look"

[Stefan-A]

What kind of camera is it, by the way?

[Gijs & Sabine]

I also think they are radix, but by seeing the last picture I'm not so sure about the lowest one.
Maybe after some more exercise ....

[jeanette]

Kodak easy share.
havent a clue about its pixels or model, it took me 6 months to learn how to use my cell phone so i havent a clue with digital cameras.

T. radix is a good choice, Jeanette. Absolutely my favourite Garter. I have 4.3 (4 males and 3 females).
