I got hese two as a pair. supposedly they locked tails a few times last week. What do you guys think? i think ones a bull and ones a pine i know they are very similar snakes.

Heres the other one

The first one looks like a very nice bullsnake. The second one looks like a pine snake but am not sure what kind, since I don't know much about pines. What did you rescue them from?

One is a bull, and one is a pine, and they should not be a pair. This hobby already has enough problems dealing with hybrids ruining the bloodlines in captivity. This is not directed at you personally, but directed at the possibility that they may have bred.

That pine looks very thin. Fatten that snake up, and then, do not breed them.

I agree 100%.......glad they were rescued from their bad conditions, but they DEFINITELY shouldn't be a breeding pair whatsoever. Maybe a day late and a dollar short on that though from what was already mentioned.........

"Red" animal looks like a red Bull that didn't turn out too red, but attractive to be sure. The 2nd appears to be a Northern Pine with reduced blotching. I'm guessing there's a red infra-red lamp casting red light on parts of the animal, though there are N.P.s with considerable dark red tones. Feed that puppy!

Thanks everyone and don't worry they will be fattened up nicely and i have them separated already. If she lays eggs i will not incubate them so dont worry about that either. The guy i took them from had a crap load of snakes. i got these two that he was putting together and calling a breeding pair and an albino king he called a lavender which it may very well be but i wont know till tomorrow. i am going to a show in virginia and having the king looked at more closely and sexed. they were covered in their own crap and put in a way too small sterilte container but now they are good to go and doing well in their new enclosures. He ate two fat crawler rats. so hes full she ate one and wouldnt take the second. thanks for the comments and reading this
