Inspired to take some pics today I took some of the animals outside to take advantage of the overcast day.

The snakes had been at 80 degrees so I got a lot of real jumpy snakes















So I decided to let them cool for about 60 mins ont the porch and try again







Be carefull not to do this near a place the snakes may jump in that you won't be able to grab it.Grass is a bad idea and so is a wood porch etc .This upsidedown garbage can works well cause it spins. That helps to get the snake in a good position for a pic.Best to get the snake facing left or right not up or down.The pics look better that way.











Phil thanks for these they are both eating and still biting the heck out of my hands.Pictured is the female as the male is too jumpy to allow out of his tupperware outside.











Paul pictured are 2 of the three siblings you gave me and they are doing great. This first one is on pinks.























This one takes wormsnake.















This male gentilis may be my brightest male but I have had to smack him with ft pinks for the first few years to get him to take them and then not move till he swallowed it. He is about 3 years old and has finally started to take live and ft pinks on his own.He has retained his red well for a gentilis. The camera doesn't pick up the yellowish tinge on the back.The sides and vent are very white











This guy only eats worm snake sections but loves them.

Phil this is a brother of the one you have.
