Cool New snakes from the expo in Houten (part 1)

Hi everyone,

Last week I was very busy so I had no time to visit the forum.
But her I am.
On the expo in Houten on october 14, 2007 I bought some new snakes. More than I had planned, but hey, who cares

Here they are...



Thamnophis eques cuitzeoensis - female





Thamnophis eques cuitzeoensis - female - this subcaudal white is typical for this subspecies





Thamnophis fulvus - female (got two females and I am looking for a male)




Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus - female





Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus - female

Re: New snakes from the expo in Houten (part 1)

Prices were per snake:

T. eques cuitzeonensis - € 130,--
T. fulvus - € 40,--
T. cyrtopsis ocellatus - € 40,--
T. melanogaster canescens - € 100,--

A lot of money, but I think they are worth it.

Really nice ones. Especially that fulvus, you wouldn't happen to have more pictures of that species?

Not yet, but I will give it a try soon. I do not want to disturb them too much.

Anyone who has experience with T. fulvus?

Re: New snakes from the expo in Houten (part 1)

beautiful snakes, Fons
the fulvus was already on my wish list
now the T.m.canescens and the T.e.cuitzeonensis - both of those are amazing
