Re: T. Sirtalis

Hi Chris, I think you'll find that quite a few of our members keep T. sirtalis. Do you know what sub-species you have? I'm presuming T. s. sirtalis? If you're unsure, you could post a photo of Rico (if you haven't aleady done so).

Posting Pictures

Some of the guys on here could help you to identify him.

Re: T. Sirtalis

it took an effort to get a picture of him cause he hates flashes but i got a couple good pics and later tonight or early tomorrow i can have them on here in my galery. the shots might be a little distant because he was moving when i took them.

but to be honest i have to ideas as to what he is (one things for sure hes cute)

If flash is a problem, why not use natural sunlight? After all, you take him outside often enough!
