Ensatina photos

[paris]

here are a few pics of my Ensatina eschscholtzi platensis, they are sub adults and a juvie-like arboreals the juvie was slow to grow then went through a growth spurt where it almost caught up with the sub adult, this is the sub adult-i believe it to be a male

here is the juvie-it may be a female

here are some shots of my adult female E.e.klauberi
the girth of the tail is what indicates this is a female (males have thinner tails and a 'squared off' nose)

here is a pic of her in my hand to help give an indication of her size

here is a shot of what she live in-i kept her and a male in a bigger set up but he died-possibly cause i kept the substrate too damp (these guys like it drier than one would expect) she has done well in this set up for over a year so i am reluctant to give her a new one since she is doing well in this one.

Nice klaub. I'll have to post a pic of the adult female I picked up in Pine Valley this year, awesome deep orange.

Moisture is definitely problematic with Ensatina. Especially when you're trying to provide a damp nesting spot without saturating the entire enclosure.
