Those are better pics, Sarahi.
Okay, I agree, it isn't T.marcianus. It looks very much like photos I have seen of T.scaliger, unfortunately I have never seen scaliger 'in the flesh' so I cannot be certain.

That is one unusual garter! I'd like to know what it is too.........

[todaelaguadelmar]

Well, now we know what he isn´t and we´ll loke to know what he is, meanwhile i´ll be making some modifications in his tank, i´ll try to post pics of the remodelation soon, thanks a lot and i´ll be still waiting for information.
I thought it was a T. sirtalis sirtalis thanks.

Maybe other members might want to give an opinion, after looking at your recent (much improved) photos.

Very interesting. I've never even seen a picture of scaliger, but the spots and the dorsal stripe do fit the description. Is the tongue red and black, or entirely black?

[drache]

what a beautiful snake

[Endor]

, Stefan, the tongue is completely black. I still think it´s a T. sirtalis sirtalis jeje

[todaelaguadelmar]

the tongue es all black as Endor says.

[Stefan-A]

If it's completely black, then it's not a T. sirtalis or a T. marcianus.

scaliger on the other hand does have a black tongue, as do all of the following species:

T. exsul
T. fulvus
T. godmani
T. mendax
T. nigronuchalis
T. rufipunctatus
T. scalaris
T. scaliger
T. sumichrasti
