What is it? Once again......

Postby Florida Dave » Sun Jan 30, 2005 7:06 pm

I am still asking for opinions on this one! The main supplyer for the store who gave it to me get them from a local breeder, he breeds Northerns and Easterns but does not cross breed so which do you think it is?

I still say Eastern. Brown coloring on bands/sides, very narrow head, short fat tail...it still could very well be a Eastern x Northern, though I doubt it's a direct cross meaning it doesn't exactly look like a pure Eastern was crossed with a pure Northern...

Haha, Nomad wants to cross these subspecies! :lazy:

I've never seen an eastern here in Aus that looks like that, but again I'm no expert. I didn't even know easterns came without eyebands till I saw some here.


At least I know it's not a shingleback :lol:

I'm new at this, but I'd say Eastern. That dark lateral stripe and the coloration reminds me of Skinklet.

I think he looks like a Northern. A strange looking northern, but a northern none the less. But that's JUST my opinion.
