T. ordinoides on the Ranch

Nice looking snakes. Is that a shed in the foreground of the second picture?

Yes and the third new ordie snake is also in opaque phase.

In Biology we went over natural selection and how selection pressure restricts and dictates features in species and if there isn't much selection pressure for appearance the species will display huge variation in colour,pattern ect
I was wondering if a lack of selection pressure on ordinoides has allowed colour and pattern to be so varied.Could that be why they are so varied?

That's what I've read about them. There is, however, a tendency for one or two "morphs" to dominate a particular population. Which morph dominates can change just a few miles away.

I really like the NWs they are awesome.

My little lone surviving T.ordinoides baby scrub is putting on some size now. She has become very bold and doesn't want to be left out of anything going on in her enclosure.

[ConcinusMan]

Wow. Putting on some size. Faster than any I've ever raised. Normally they grow agonizingly slow.

[guidofatherof5]

He never misses a meal and gets treat whenever he asks.

[RedSidedSPR]

She is beautiful. How old is she now?

Gorgeous Steve! Fish Bait is the same way. He is already over a foot long and only 14mo old. Sturdy fellow too.
