Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Going on four years now. They have pretty much attained their full adult length and are now beefing up nicely. They have lived together since neonates in a big 60 gallon cage on my coffee table (except during brumation, when they share a tub). Lorenzo is very sociable, coming out to be seen and see what is going on. His mate is the exact opposite, rarely seen. I expect this year they may actually make babies. I am certain of their gender.

They seem to be slow starters reproduction wise, in comparison to my bulls, who bred last year at two years of age. They are Pituophis catenifer catenifer, closely related to Pituophis catenifer annectens, which from what I read in another thread are slow starters, also. If they don't breed that is okay, too, as lately I have plenty of baby snakes! LOL!

Beautiful Pacific's Bob! So much red pigment considering that most wild populations are dominated by mud brown and straw yellow colored individuals. There are populations in the the lower valley and along the central coast that have varied amounts of red pigment. Some individuals also get quite large approaching six feet. L & Z probably have not topped out size-wise just yet. Do you know their linage?

I got them from Victory Reptiles out of Florida, from a person the Victory Reptiles knew who did Pacifics. They are unusually pretty, in comparison with the Pacifics I generally see. I think they are about four and a half feet long. It seems all my pits get to about that length then beef up in girth, the length going slower after year three.
