Please post pics of A. stimsoni orientalis

As the title says, I'm wondering if anyone has any pics of A. stimsoni orientalis that they don't mind posting

Also, does anyone know who might be breeding them this year and what they're selling for?

thanks, Shro

Mate, A.stimsoni orientalis is every locale of Stimmie not found in Western WA - 90% of the Stimmies you find for sale will be orientalis...

I'm aware of the distribution of A.s.orientalis according to the paper by Smith. However, Roy Pails has some stimmies he was calling orientalis and they most accurately resembled the pin stripes seen on the Pilbara pythons website. Also, many people I speak state the scale counts/ marking I.D used doesn't accurately separate the two apparent subspecies nor do snakes outside WA always key to orientalis. Hence my question, I simply want more info and to know if the snakes Pails has as 'orientalis' are available elsewhere

I haven't seen Pails ones, but if they look something like this



then you'll find most people now refer to them as Georgetown Stimmies.
As Aslan said, the description of orientalis refers to most non WA stims. It's also a crap description IMO and is not commonly used at all.

That’s basically the type of snake that I’m looking for (sorry it wasn’t actually on the pilbara pythons website). A while ago Pails had some stimmies just like this that he was calling A.s. orientalis so I figured that’s what people were calling them (contrary to what any literature says!). If anyone has any stimmies of this form I’d love to see them and hear if you have plans to breed them this season.

...but that ain't a bad snake TrueBlue
