Some new pictures...

[Thamnophis]

Because these species are not easy to photograph (small, shy and a terrarium that is not suited to make pictures in) I took them in my hand.


The female of Thamnophis melanogaster canescens, the Mexican black-bellied Garter Snake





Her belly... Why Mexican black-bellied Garter Snake




The male of Thamnophis melanogaster canescens, the Mexican black-bellied Garter Snake
He's going to shed its skin... what a shame.

[Lori P]

Very nice! I love the color of the male. :-)

[Thamnophis]

And my lonesome Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus. I am not sure, but I think its a male. The other one has escaped a while ago





And last but not least... Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis, black.

[adamanteus]

Her belly... Why Mexican black-bellied Garter Snake

They are named for the nominate form... T. m. melanogaster, which has a black belly.

[Stefan-A]

Very nice melanogaster. It even looks like a water snake.

[Snaky]

Very nice pictures, Fons!
