Totally Killer!

Markus Jayne Jul 17, 2006 09:24 AM

This was nice to see. Our first Killer Bees!

We missed on our first attempt and then got this little girl on my next.

Here is a comparison shot of a Killer Bee and Bumble Bee. They both have still to shed for the first time.

As a side note I do not want to take credit for these photos. Some friends of mine have a 9 year old son, Tristan, that is absolutely petrified of snake. He would almost pass out when I even talked about them. He came over one day and curiosity got the best of him. He eventually came into the snake room and before long he was holding hatchlings. He said he wanted to be a wildlife photograper. He took these pictures. Thanks Tristan!

....on yet another first in Canada.

The head pattern on the KillerBees is something else.
Like Mother Nature forgot or couldn't be bothered to connect the dots.

Congrats again. Great looking Ball you have there.
