No you don't see many about which is a real shame, alot of species seem to get over looked.

I picked up 2 at PRAS last year and then another 2 that were dumped at a pet shop Sad

They were in a bit of a state but are coming along well now. Very Happy

Ahh.. I do not know if they are still under "Elaphe-flag", but if that is the case.. Elaphe vulpina gloydii

yeah they're under Pantherophis now, the Eastern Pantherophis vulpinus gloydi and the Western Pantherophis vulpinus vulpinus

Not sure on the older ones but the smaller ones are one of each, there are only slight differences between them, mainly saddle shape and colouration.

nice snakes peaches almost had two females a few weeks back from a chap down reading what's there temperament like

peaches · Posted: Thu May 10, 2007 11:43 pm Post subject:

Temperament is great, generally a placid snake............they do rattle their tails A LOT though Laughing

They will strike out, dont get me wrong and they have musked me. The young strike more but then again don't most?

But they are active, bloody messy lol always moving their furniture around but yes great snakes. Very Happy
