Well just as I was moaning on about having to wait until the end of the month for my birthday snakey,then my lovely family present me with these absolute gems-
Thats the male, 07/09/10
and thats the female deep in blue,unrelated and 09/09/10 (my Birthday!)
They are European Leopard Snakes: Zamenis Situla Longisimuss.
I have lusted after some of these for soooo long-Never thought that I would ever find one let alone be given a pair.Obviously they are captive bred with all the right paperwork,as they are endangered in most of europe.Rarely seen for sale and supposedly little beggars to get going-they need a LOOONG Brumination at C-O-L-D-this pair would be put down to 6-8c for at least 3 months!! I find that a little scary.
These guys are the reason I got interested in corn snakes-to my eyes they look a lot like some morphs-Heres one I bought earlier
Sooo I had a Very Happy Birthday-even managed to persuade the camera to work(ish).
Hope you like them-sorry to bable on but Wow-I'm so lucky to have these  |

Thanks guys glad you liked them-Its incredible to me that such beautiful reptiles exist in europe!
I feel quite drawn to native and European species-I find the Wall Lizards that live wild in Ventnor(south wight) fascinating to watch,and I always worry about how many have made it through the winter.
Not just the cold- a hibernating Lizzie is an easy nutritious snack for a rat  |
