Reptile & Amphibian Forums

First of all, thank you all for the belated birthday wishes and kind words about Lola. She took a rat Monday with no trouble, so it seems she's settling in nicely.

We've been having some beautiful weather, so I had Quetzal out in the sun last afternoon.

For good measure (and O/T) here's a pic of my Amel Motley Corn, Druid, on feeding day.

Thanks for sharing but that fuzzy flower in the background in the first pic is absolutely breathtaking btw and made for a great accent or background

Thank you!

I'm really no photographer, but once in awhile a nice shot will pop up.

That's exactly my premise, I'm no photographer but with a high end camera and taking dozens (ok hundreds) of pics, you can get some pretty nice ones!!

Lovely snakes! Lovely shots! I especially like the one with the geranium (very artsy) and the close-up showing all that lovely iridescence! And of course, I'm also partial to corns... (although I've never photographed mine eating).

Glad you enjoyed the pictures!

I just realized that the close-up also features dog and cat hair all over my pants.

I don't usually take feeding pictures myself, but I was amused at his handling of that particular prey item. To say that he's an enthousiastic feeder would be an understatement.

It's always nice to have a good healthy eater! (And since I have a couple of cats, I know what you mean about the ever-present pet hair...at least snakes don't shed ON US!

I noticed we reached Number One in the Popular Forum list (It's 5:15 pm on May 23); I don't know that we'll stay there long, but we deserve to!!! ...and of course I didn't want to start a new thread and screw up our position. LOL

Not starting a new thread!!! Lately we've been chatty and that's exactly what we need to do. Also seen a fair amount of thread hyjacking....also OK IMO. We don't need to start a new thread for everything, we all seem to find the new posts and follow the branching threads without any problems!

LOL.... this is too funny. I'm getting a kick out of how this forum is trying to find more ways to be sneaky and beat the 'system' to stay at #1. Don't get me wrong, I love being at #1..... so lets keep it up!

The first pic seems to be the consensus. It helps when you havesuch a co-operative subject.

Glad you liked the pics!

Glad you liked the pics!

People always ask if Druid is a Sunglow, usually when I take photos of his head-region. If you look further down his body, he's definitely just a Amelanistic animal, though perhaps with less white in his pattern than most. The Motley pattern usurps much of it, I think.

vs a head-shot
