Thamnophis hammondii

[Snaky]

I took some pictures of Thamnophis hammondii yesterday. Because there are not that many pictures of this species, I did a little lookup of all picture I have. So first some old pictures in chronological order:

Still some old pictures

Now the new ones... It's a pitty that the female was going to shed... So is really 100x uglier now.








Not all pictures were great, but I hope you get the idea...

Those are very nice, Hans.

[Snaky]

Thanks guyse.

I like them, but they are only for a real enthousiast. They are really secretive, so most of the time only observed when the lights are out and they think that you are not there. Also are they fiercer snakes, although they have not bitten, they will always display defensive behavior (flattening neck + spreading body + striking sometimes)

Beautiful snakes, Hans. I have always liked hammondii.

They're quite attractive. Not as stripey as most of the Thamnophis, and I love the grey/yellow colour combination.
