The first: Thamnophis cyrtopisis cyrtopsis.
A nice pile of cyrtopsis, getting a nice than.



And this female is constantly under the spot, so let's hope the best of it!

Secondly: Thamnophis marcianus marcianus.
They were also lying underneath the spot.

A nice overview of the marcianus.

The rest of the close-ups:


And the male already did a try to mate, but he has a lot to learn! A bit to low in my opinion.

But they are having a great time together.

Re: new pics, now hibernation ended

And the fifth: Thamnophis atratus atratus.
They are in a temporary enclosue in plastic, so the pics are of less quality... But still they are beautiful animals.
