We are collecting two Thamnophis eques cuitzeoensis tomorrow!

Both are doing fine. They're settling into their new home and both have eaten some trout. I think the female has eaten some pinky too, but as they're not trusting me enough to tong feed yet and I'm watching them eat from a distance it's hard to tell which one is eating what from the dish.
Both are still a bit musky, the male seems more happy to be touched, but I've not had either out of the viv fully other than when we first got them home - the girl musked, a lot, that evening. There's no sign of any biting thankfully, as I think these guys would easily draw blood.
They also got a bit frisky the other day. I know that they are relatively young, but if they're going to breed they're going to do it... Considering whether we need to separate them to have more control over the breeding... We need more room in the house, or I need to give over space in my office to the snakes.

If you spot anything interesting from your pair I started a post about T. Cuitzeoensis behaviour in the husbandry section, feel free to add your observations in there. The more information the better. And prepare for all these friendly garter people to be jealous of your Cuitzeos. :-)

Yeah I think it would be a good idea to seperate. I do with all my young snakes. There only last years so if she got pregnant at that size it could potentially kill her or shorten her life. Mine are 09s and should breed next year.
I will have a look at the posts
