My favorite too Warren.
Stunning photos!
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it’ll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it’s not even funny.

Thanks again guys. Now just to find another one, only getting Whip snakes and pythons here lately.

Hey everyone....

I have a group of D. viridis....or so I thought until seeing these pics of this beautiful Jameson's....if I post a few pics of my group here, would you all mind seeing if you think any of them are actually the Jameson's instead of D. viridis??

Thanks,

Adam

Ok...so here is more pics of the group. Hope they come through ok and are good enough to point out if any are Jameson's and not Western Greens like they've been bought and kept as. Have 2 more that were being extremelt camera shy. Will try to post them later. Any thoughts on any of them NOT being D. viridis?

Thanks in advance for your time,

Adam

The main difference is that in D. viridis the dorsal scales on the upper sides and middle of the back are twice as long as those of the outermost (lowest) rows of dorsal scales. Your photos show that very nicely. In D. jamesoni, the middle dorsal scales are large but normal.
