Well thanks a lot for putting the length in cm.! You know I am an imbecile. Now I gotta go get a ruler!
Anyway, I have some that are 36 INCHES or so and some that have bred at just over 30 INCHES. Honestly I have seen adults from different parts of their range that were anywhere in between those lengths, so I am of little help. I may lean toward the age of the snakes rather than the total lengh. Like most of my snakes, I wait at least 3 yrs before breeding, but I should say that I do not overfeed my animals either. I know other keepers whose yearlings look like my adult snakes!
Here's an adult Pender co.male that is much redder than in this pic in full sun. I have more pics and am starting to redo my pages at www.crimsonking.funtigo.com.
If you take a look let me know what you think.
By the way Pierson, I added a salt marsh snake page at Dick Bartlett's urging.
