marcianus?

[Starling96]

They are?
i thouht they were one of the larger
Im pretty new to Thamnopis's
whats some of the largest?

[kibakiba]

Northwesterns stay around 2 ft or less. I think radix and marcianus are a couple of the largest, the giant garter snake (thamnophis gigas) is the biggest of them all. I think they're around 5 ft long.

[Starling96]

oh cool.
learning new stuff everyday.
Are thamnophis gigas a mexican species?

[kibakiba]

I think they are in California. I'm not 100% sure, though.

[Starling96]

Yea i googled and man they're big

[Bart]

Yes Chantel, but I'm wondering if a male marcianus would be able to eat a hopper or adult mouse. It's obvious that females can do it, but males?

[kibakiba]

I don't know how big males get, I know for a fact my male northwestern can barely down a fuzzy... And all snakes are different. It would depend on the size

See how clever I am when I'm tired!

[Bart]

Let's say, 60 cm large?

[kibakiba]

Maybe. Males are long and thin, so it wouldn't surprise me if he'd have difficulty. You have to keep in mind, though, what I only have a yearling male concinnus, an adult male northwestern (1 ft) and a baby male northwestern.

Males in general don't get big. But they're big enough.
