Thamnophis hammondii

[Thamnophis]

They look good, Hans. My experiences with them are the same.
But what a difference between the male and the female! I do not think this is so in my two specimen.
Have to take a better look, but now i am afraid that I have two males or two females.
How old are your animals?

Mine are from 29-07-2006.
On 30-01-2008 the "male" weighed 27 gram and the "female" 36 gram.
Do not know what they weigh now, but they have grown well.
Maybe I can weigh them one of these days (Pink Floyd ) before I go away for the holidays.

Thanks for the replies

@Fons:
There is indeed quite a big difference between my male and female. It became obvious after a couple of months. Both ate like hell, still the female growth much bigger. I've never weighed or measured them though, so I can't give you these figures. I also can't give you the exact date, unless I look it up. They are animals of Steven of 2007, so yearlings now.

Okay. A year younger than mine.
And mine also are very good eaters.

Very beautiful snakes. At first I was questioning why they're in a different genus than sirtalis but the last set of pics cleared things up. :P

You mean species, right?

He means people should get the terminology straight.
