Re: new to snake care
I'm just curious, but wasn't one of the ways to tell the difference between proximus and sauritus to see if it had those two fused dots on the top of its head?

Re: new to snake care
I always thought that varied on the snake and was a trait between both subspecies, have to look at mine more closely.

Re: new to snake care
Very nice home he has there!! Good job.
Yes, he'll climb when he's ready; my ribbon snake is always either at the very top of the tank on the highest branch or at the very bottom, burried. LOL Like he has no in between. |

Re: new to snake care
Nice pics!! I've probably already mentioned it, but that is a really nice-looking snake!
Hopefully my spring snake-hunting will be successful this year -- I'd love a ribbon snake myself.
