SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!

Love 'em

Ok, it's decided. Vlad and Lacrimosa after Vlad and Lacrimosa Magpyr in "Maskerade". Gone for vampire names. The black bodies and white face made me think of little goths. LOL.

Great thing about that photo is that you can see the white cheeks, the black body, and the pink underside of the tail.

Hopefully the guy we got them from will be back on the forum (has visited in the past, but not regularly), we're keeping in touch because his other pair is probably the only other pair in the UK. We've said we will swap some babies when our pairs breed, his male is the brother of our male but females are unrelated, so better to have the 3rd generation coming from one of the ours and cousin (ideally they'd be completely unrelated, but cousins are further apart than many pairings). I also think some of you would have a minor "crisis" if you visited his snake room - and I've now seen San Franciscos in the flesh. :-)

I'm jealous!

Lucky! I love those cuitzeo garters, they're so unique looking.

[PINJOHN]

congratulations you two, what a great acquisition,with us a few months and already the envy of the garter world, heaven knows what you would have to do to top this.
this is one of those coincidence times for me, i mentioned in the grassnake thread recently having had some Russian melanistic grassnakes and when i saw your new snakes my first impression was i was looking at black grassnakes, you would think that should they have a resemblance to any thing it would be another garter, but no, that was my immediate impression. i will be waiting avidly for more photo's and you can bet i wont be the only one

.... heaven knows what you would have to do to top this...

I'm not sure what we would have to do, but I was in a snake room last night that tops our cuitzeoensis pair hands down. My memory doesn't do his snakes justice, but I've already mentioned I saw San Frans in the scale, a few others - several natrix, Santa Cruz, red-sided, viperines...

John - If you're passing Coventry you're welcome to stop in to have a look at the cuitzeoensis pair, and check in on the checkereds you gave us, and meet Binky.

Pinjohn, hi there, what are these Russian melanistic grassnakes? I keep a few europe sub species and have never seen these before
