Hi everyone
My male Stimi (See attached pic) is 14 months old and around 56 cm. His name is Terry. I know there are different varieties of Stimi's based on locality, but I am not sure where my Stimi's forebears would have originated.
Can someone please help? I would love to breed him one day, but would want to only breed him with a female from the same region.
Sorry about the poor quality of the pics.
Cheers in advance 
Matt

IMO, that animals origin could of come from parts of QLD or the NT, possibly even NSW.???

At a guess I would say some where between Barkley Homestead and Mt Isa.

i would say tennant creek, SA or as said around Mt Isa. maby a pic out side in the sun would help because some localities have similair patterning but vary slightly in colour. nice snake anyway.

| Thats the spirit! Keep things locality pure! In future though, it's much easier to get snakes of known locality from a breeder who is also fastidious about the locality of his lines.
Southern Cross has a few lines of locality pure stimmies! Maybe keep the one you have now as a pet as he is very nice, but of unknown lines, and use this as an excuse to get a nice pair of known locality stimsoni.

Looks a bit like my stimmie.
Mine is from the northern parts of south australia.

I would say that the only way you could tell with any sort of assurances you would have to ask the breeder.

That is a good looking enclosure set up you have, what substrate is that you are using?

Thanks everyone for their help.
The substrate is desert sand. I know sand isn't the best thing to sue, but I find that this sand tends to clump hard when liquid touches it. The enclosure is a just a 3 foot fishtank witn pine stand and hood converted for a reptile.

Really hard to tell from the photos... my guess would be somwhere between Mt Isa and NT
