There's some interesting sex/weight ratios there too, Sjoerd.

Yes, indeed! I was actuallyy shocked when I saw the male weights! I know they are way smaller, but this is way, way, way smaller!

Re: My brumation...

Nope, that would be a bit crowded...lol...

3 parietalis females in one box
2 parietalis males and a cyrtopsis male in a box
1 female marcianus in a ....
1 male marcianus and a male atratus ...
1 sirtalis sirtalis female and a radix female ...
1 sirtalis sirtalis male and a radix male ...

I seperated the males from the females and the warmer subspecies from the colder subspecies.
And offcourse, not everyone in the same box. It would be very crowded and if something might happen to that one box, I might lose all my snakes. It sound harsh, but should anything happen (god forbid...) I """" only """" lose a couple of snakes
