Very interesting stuff, I can't help but notice the large bulges in the females, guess Dione's are the "well hung" of the rat snake world relative to their smaller size.

What don't we as people (me) measure LOL!!

.......what swelling at the vent area during copulations......them things must have larger hemipenes than needed per size of the animals......don't see that much swelling usually .....I have seen it in cornsnakes a couple times I think but man ...they all have it here.....

I had a big male corn cop with another big male corn but I think they both lived.....

.....I kinda like the orange ones.....yellows too and tigers....LOL......nice snakes.....

Thanxx again.......
