Hey all-

I just imported this pair of captive bred assisi and I thought I would share the pics.
The male has got some killer black spots on his side with some nicely contrasted pattern.

The female is a nice, reddish color...

I am seen them. Congrats on the acquisition.

Best regards,
Jeff Murray

Jeff,

Easy to get grammatically distracted when looking at such nice
and unusual snakes! They seem to have a fairly strong resemblance to my alvarezi. Any idea what the defining characteristics are?? I've never had much luck finding literature on the lesser known E. cenchria sub-species.

Thanks,
Ed

I spoke with my partner from whom I get these guys and here's what he said:

"Alvarezi are thinner, smaller, and the shape of the head is not elongated.

They also live in arid regions but not tropical year round."

Here are a couple pics of the alvarezi I brought in and sold last year... I think I posted them here before...

Anery??

Thanks for the info. Here are a couple pics of my alvarezi.

Thanks,

Nice, this thread is defenetly very instructive . Congratulations on the beautiful E.c. subspecies!!!! I really didn't know that any cenchrias were found in arid regions...

Wow, those are awesome. The male is extra awesome with that contrasting pattern. Congrats and thanks for sharing, don't get to see pics of these guys very often.

Thanks,
Ed
