I think the first one is proximus, not sauritus, but I can't say which sub-species.....
I'm with Sabine on the second one...proximus proximus.

Re: Hello ;-) & Question
I'm tending to lean towards proximus on the first one, but the second one has to be T. p. orarius; it looks exactly like my female and orarius is usually imported and sold as the "ribbon snake" in most stores.

Hoping to get some T. s. sirtalis High-Reds next summer!

Re: Hello ;-) & Question
Am I wrong in thinking that sauritus has the dark ventrolateral stripe.... missing in the pics of the first snake? I must admit I'm not confident on my Ribbon IDs.

Re: Hello ;-) & Question
I'll stay out of the ID game (other than to agree that they're ribbons) and just say hello, and welcome!!
Both snakes are very beautiful, by the way.Anji

Re: Hello ;-) & Question
T. sauritus sackenii has a tan dorsal stripe that sometimes blends in with the base colour, which ranges from tan to olive

Re: Hello ;-) & Question
It's my eyes or my monitor! I see no dark stripe... we're talking about the same snake, right? The first one?
