From Hamm

[Stefan-A]

I figured we really only need one more Hamm-related thread, so if you bought anything at the show, post those pictures here.


Just picked up these two girls (Thamnophis elegans vagrans). They were curled up in the box when I first saw them, and my first thought was: "Where's the rest of you?" Damn they looked tiny. Once I got them home, I realized my prepared terrarium really was unnecessarily big (70 litres), so they'll be living in that ~10 litre faunarium for a day or two. They didn't look that small once they started moving around.

Definitely the calmest garters I've seen so far.

Nice Stefan, you can't go wrong with those!

[Snaky]

They look great, very nice.

Their size always surprises me, I bought also some newborns and wow they look tiny. But it's fun to have them this small and watch them mature

Nice looking snakes, Stefan! I will get my radix-newborn today evening. Did you see it already?

Very nice Stefan, can't wait to watch them grow...........

Beautiful snakes, Stefan. Congratulations. They'll soon grow in your care.

I got my 1.1 pickeringii this morning. The male is lovely, but to be honest I'm a little disappointed with the female....she really is tiny, smaller than your vagrans Stefan, and about a third the bulk of the male, this worries me because she's four months old!!. She is quite thin, in fact she has a lateral fold either side of her body on the posterior quarter. She seems active and curious enough, so she should be okay, but not at all what I expected or hoped for.

Well, here's my female-radix baby ^^

Sorry for the bad pics.

[adamanteus]

The pics are fine, Anthon. She'll be a fine looking snake when she sheds that skin.
