My mandarins

viperhare Feb 03, 2010 05:18 AM

These are my 3 mandarin ratsnakes I have in my collection. One is probably a Hunan animals, and 2 are from Sichuan. But I do not know this for sure.

Does anyone know what localities these animals are?
Thanks

Nice mandarins! It would be hard to guess about the locality. Over the years I've hatched out sichuan babies that had very light grey backgrounds with no red and others with an extreme amount of red in the grey areas. Also some with large yellow areas in the diamonds and others with very little yellow in the diamonds. I've also seen similar looks with ones from other provinces in china. From what I've seen, you see the bigger changes with ones from the more southern parts of their range.
