Concinnusman's Garters

[infernalis]

thats big (bertha )hey will a male checkered get that big (im hopn checker will)

She's a little over 38 inches so 3.2 feet. Not all that uncommon to find big females like that in certain areas. Checker can easily reach that size, and probably much sooner than a T.s. concinnus would. I'd say most concinnus that large are 8-10 years old, and female.

hooray

Not trying to bust your bubble but males rarely get as big as females.

All of my males are substantially smaller than the females.

I think concinnus males max out just shy of 3 feet and even then, I've only seen one that big once- my male that was 18 years old. Females 3 feet and up to 3.5 feet are not all that uncommon even in the wild.

Here's some more pics taken outside. Now you can see why I say that the blue-green color in these anery's really does seem to glow like it's florescent. It's something that's hard to capture on camera and in person it's even more remarkable.

[ConcinnusMan]

Another anery that isn't quite as blue as the other girl, but the spots are more colorless, more white.^^^^^


And when I say these are polymorphic and there are snakes somewhere in between, I mean like my hypoerythristic male which I have had for quite some time now. He's not blue, he's not normal, yet he's not quite anery either.

The last two pictures are absolutely stunning, loving the blue

[ConcinnusMan]

Yeah, isn't the weirdest (and coolest) concinnus morph ever? I think so.

I think that when light hits the pigments in their skin, it actually changes the wavelength then reflects it back, giving it that blue glow. Depending on the lighting, they can look totally different. Inside, under a basking lamp (more red light) the glow disappears and they look simply like faded normals. But outside, or under a reptisun florescent, they glow blue. Weird huh?

ya but you said hed ge that big im excited for 3 ft. a female checkered is bigger than much species of garter so the male checkered is bigger than females of other species

[ConcinnusMan]

I think I do recall hearing that before. I think male checkers are bigger than the girls.

[GartersRock]

All of my male checkereds are much smaller then my females. And I am pretty sure most I have seen as well....
