Thanks! I feel really fortunate to have her. I may start taking montly pictures and putting them in a gallery to see the progress in a slideshow. She was such a cute little gray worm when I got her last year

Wow, I wish I would have been able to keep at least one of her sisters.
I'm not saying this because she was hatched here but I really think that girl is going to make Sam and Rosie look rather plain.
Great photography, too!
Please continue to post pics as she grows.

I definitely will post progression pics as she grows. My other half built me a light box for taking snake pics, and it's made a huge difference!

It's awfully hard to make her parents look plain; they are simply gorgeous. You have no idea how giddy I was when I had the opportunity to get one of their babies! She is loved to bits and pieces here, and her tank is positioned so that I can watch her from my computer.

Any way you could send plans for the light box?
You obviously have a great eye for photography and the light box accentuates your talent.

I can get you the link when my sweetie brings home the plans; they are at his work right now. He used white foam-core for the box structure (so it's a light light box, haha), used white tape to hold it together, cut out windows in the top and upper part of the sides, and taped tissue paper over the windows to diffuse the light. Light can be placed on top, to shine through the top window, and if more is wanted, clamp-lamps (or gooseneck lamps) can be added to each side window (do both or neither, though, to avoid unwanted shadows).

I'll email the link when I get it

And thanks for the compliments!
