First Tamnophismeeting in the Netherlands

Gijs & Sabine · 06-07-2007, 04:06 PM

The number of Dutch garterkeepers is growing almost by the day, so therefore Gijs and me decided to organize a Thamnophismeeting for a small group of Dutch (and Belgium

) garterkeepers.

So last sunday the third of june it was that day. At 9:00 am we meet at Steven Bol his place. He's got quite an impressive collection and very rare species. And he also got an outside enclosure (not sure if this is the right word) with T.s.pickeringii and T.radix radix.
We were also very lucky to witness the birth of melanistic easterns !!

Gijs & Sabine · 06-07-2007, 04:07 PM

T.eques cuitzeoensis

Gijs & Sabine · 06-07-2007, 04:10 PM

T.s.infernalis

T.ordinoides

Natrix maura, the dark male is from '86 !!

And than the trip continues to Paul Storm. He's got a very nice pond with all different small fishes.

This is his very nice aqua terrarium with Nerodia.

It looks like you had a good day, Sabine. I like the outdoor enclosure, it looks great. Will Steven be breeding the T. eques? I am not familiar with the sub-species cuitzeonensis.

Gijs & Sabine · 06-07-2007, 04:28 PM

And Paul has a fine group of T.marcianus marcianus

At the end of the day the group came to our new garterroom. In all the excitement I forgot to make some more pics at our place

And than we had diner together in a Chinese restaurant.
It was a very succesfull day and everybody was entusiastic about it, so probebly we will organize another meeting next year
Maybe there are some members who can put some more pics with it ( Fons, Hans

)
I wanna thank Steven Bol and Paul Storm for being so friendly to show there garters and other watersnakes to us.

@ Adamanteus: Yes, he will breed them this year. It's a night active species that uses his white tail, by moving it like a worm, to attract prey. You can see that in the pic.

1.2 please!

Maybe next year you could widen it to all our European members, who are willing and able to travel that far? I would come....I love Chinese food!

Gijs & Sabine · 06-07-2007, 04:55 PM

We've thoughts about that as well

So maybe.......
