"Tangerine" Ball slugged out...

EmberBall Apr 01, 2007 02:08 PM

Kind of a bummer, I had high hopes for this breeding, two "unusual" snakes. Unfortunately, I got 7 slugs from the female this morning. Maybe next year.

The first and last pic are the female, middle pic is the male.

EmberBAll Apr 01, 2007 03:56 PM

1800 grams or more, how do you know she looks light, none of the pics are from yesterday?

Sorry to hear..

The middle pic, the male, the way you photgraphed him was very smart. Those really light, Vanilla? type snakes seem almost impossible to get on film. The way you did it here really came across for a change.

Good luck next year with them, they look like they will be worth the wait.

The middle snake, the male, has nothing to do with the Ember or Sulfur project, he is just a cool normal I am trying to prove.

I really havent been following the Ember or Sulfur projects.

I just thought he had a nice light coloration and that you were able to catch that on camera.

Many people advertise or display very light colored snakes- this morph, that morph, no morph and the color very rarely comes across on film. I thought it did in this instatnce?

EmberBall Apr 01, 2007 04:44 PM

OK, cool.

I guess that pic does do him justice, it does pretty much make him look just like he does in person.

The last pic is perfectly in focus, it is just you

Thanks,

Dave

Sorry to hear that. How disapointing to watch her bloom and then not produce. I enjoy hearing about your projects. Good luck on the next ones. Claude

Dave,

That really is a disappointment. Those are some really beautiful animals. Try not to be discouraged.

Sincerely, Kyle
