Well I rechecked the literature I've got and found out that T.ordinoides has a 17 scale count while T.sirtalis has a 19. Guess I gotta go count scales now. Not going to be easy, they're such small little buggars and I don't think they'll sit still for me very long!
Oh, and I had thought that ordinoides was a full species, not a subspecies of sirtalis????
ssssnakeluvr......What are your adult T.ordinoides eating? Even if my little guys are or aren't ordinoides, I've seen some really nice red ones for sale at shows that I'd like to get, but don't really want to be working with something that only eats earthworms.
