Here are pictures of the undersides of my 0.0.2 Trans Pecos. Apparently the parents are a Mardi Snipes Pic. and a Sanderson Pic.

Any thoughts on the belly coloration, or the sexes? They're siblings.



Additionally, neither of these guys is very interested in eating. Any T.P. specific tips would be appreciated.

I've tried f/t pinkies, fuzzies, my "leave some f/t food in the cage for about 24-48 hours" trick, a live rat pup, and late last night I tried a live small mouse. None of that has worked. I've been force feeding them for now until they do something voluntarily. Before I owned each of these snakes, I was told that a live fuzzy worked for snake A once, and a small mouse worked for snake B once.

T.I.A. !



PS - I used to have a pair of Laticinctus from Mardi from a screaming orange female he has, and I didnt know they can take about 2 years to color up, so I got rid of them, STUPIDLY after a year thinking they were gonna be dull. I wish I hadnt now

I forsee my collection switching over to being heavy on superb copperheads and less on North American colubrids
