Some head shots

[Pyro]

Had some good light and weather yesterday evening and some free time so I took a few of the snakes out for some photos

Promethea

Dr. Teeth

Jax

The origin of his/her name

That is awesome! Beautiful snakes. Are thos holes by their jawline on the second and third snakes? Or are they just markings?

 

[Pyro]

The "holes" on the jaw lines of Dr. Teeth and Jax are the heat sensing pits that some species of python have. Akin to those of the pit vipers (rattlesnakes, copperheads, etc.)

What species is promethea?

 

[Pyro]

Lampropeltis alterna. Grey-Banded Kingsnake.

She is a light phase Blaire's morph

Promethea has very nice colors! Lol, Dr. Teeth is a good name for a snake.
