05 GBK and Thayeri

Here's some updated pics of my two most recent additions. Fist shot is my 05 River road alterna "Big Hill" locality. Second shot is my 05 Thayeri after shed. Thanks for looking.

Both of them are beautiful. I really like the thayeri. Do they spend much time out in the open in their cages or do you always have to dig them out to see them?

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

Hard to judge since I've only had these guys just under two weeks, but so far the Thayeri likes to bury under the aspen, and the GBK tends to stay in his hide. "clay pot" Now at night, when the lights are out, I'm sure they're both out on the prowl, LOL

like any king... they will hide until they get a little girth to them. Mine get active like clockwork... around 7 pm each night.

Plus, I stack slate rock around their enclosures. Having little nooks to hide in pretty much stopped the buring habit.

Thanks for the reply. I'm toying with the idea of either a thayeri or a zonata as my next snake. In either case, I'd like to be able to find some "native" rocks to put in their enclosures. However, finding southern California rocks in Louisiana might be a challenge. I haven't figured out how I will address that one.
