Very nice. I would love to add a pair of twin spotteds to my collection. Heck, I like the diones too.

Thanks Matt! Hopefully, I will have two good clutches of Twin-spotteds this year. The other female bimac is deep in the blue right now, but I'll try to get a pic of her when she sheds.

First of all, very nice looking snakes. Have Bimaculata ever been referred to as Chinese Corn Snakes? I had one that I got from a pet store when I was maybe 9 or 10 that was sold that way. I did a search about a month ago to try to figure what species it truly was and that's what I came up with. Your pics just reminded me.

Thanks Ryan! It's possible that some people have called them Chinese Corn Snakes, but I can't say I've definately heard it before. I would blame it on the pet store, myself. The correct common name is Chinese Twin-spotted Ratsnake.

Yes, they were referred to as Chinese corn snakes before, but more often Chinese coin snakes, a long time ago.

Thanks Terry. The dione has had her pre-laying shed and looks like she's about to pop. The bimac still has not shed yet, but is deep in the blue. The big calico beauty girl had her pre-laying shed a couple days ago - so countdown to eggs!
