Nice additions

Kuno
The Xenogrophis are so beautiful.
You guys are really quite fortunate over there.
At our local expo there is never even a single garter snake, let alone ribbons or water snakes.
There are endless amounts of beautiful boas and pythons which I can't even legally keep in New York.
The range is pretty narrow here as far as snakes go. There are often many wonderful Elaphe, Lampropeltis, and some Heterodon species too. That's about it.

thank you,but it's very difficult to find the beautifull animals.... i search for years at the Xenogrophis,and now i have 6!!!!

i think i'm the only one for now who has these specie,so i'm very happy,it wood be nice to get some breed this year

to make a bigger holding in Europe!!!

[Thamnophis]

Yeah, there was one in Veldhoven.
Lots of N. Vitatta! and 5 or 6 other aquatic snakes, dont recall their names...(with the strange looking nose...)

I am curious about the species with the strange looking nose! Anyone know the species-name?

[ssssnakeluvr]

nice looking snakes...I really want the natrix natrix.....

[Daniel]

Hey ssssnakeluvr,

in what subspecies of natrix natrix are you interested? I do keep some natrix natrix scutata. Just have a look, what they did some days ago



and a picture of my female:



Best wishes,

Daniel

That looks like the ones I want. I have seen them called grass snakes. I have found quite a variation in patterns on them on the internet...some even have 2 stripes. Very nice looking snakes....have seen them advertised here inthe U.S. on occasion...but will be looking more seriously this summer to get some. Nice looking snakes!!!!!!

[Stefan-A]

Natrix natrix persa can have two stripes.

I'd strangle a puppy for a Natrix natrix couple, but apparently you need a permit to keep domestic species, although I don't know what the situation is when it's a question of a foreign subspecies. Still looking for definite answers in our legislation, but it doesn't look good.

@thamnophis: found their names! Erpeton tentaculatum

[Thamnophis]

Erpeton tentaculatum... Yeah, they look great. Real watersnakes.
Difficult to keep. They often die after a few months.

In the Netherlands it is impossible to keep Natrix natrix (every subspecies) legally.

@ Daniel... that is a very beautiful subspecies!

In the Netherlands it is impossible to keep Natrix natrix (every subspecies) legally.

It sucks, just this weekend I collected some new snakes in Germany ( th.c.c ) . He also had some very nice natrix natrix. It's the same as not being able to hold tetrataenia in the US, it's a pitty.
