a new background for some photos.

I’m still searching for the “perfect” photo rock but I tried some decomposed granite gravel today, most the snakes cooperated, one Nelson’s Milk was sent to timeout in the fridge for a few minutes. Here are the three Thayeri I held back from last year. I’m not as good as Bob or Brad but I like them.

Those first two are awesome! That girl has a big ol' T on her head... perhaps for Thayeri? Love the orange on that male too. The MSP is also nice... it might be my computer but it looks like its red has washed out in some places? Kinda looks neat.... I don't think I've seen that before.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, and I like what you did for the backgrounds too.

Rick,

I'm especially fond of your 2006 "Orange" Male with the reduced black borders...very sweet! Oh yeah, that "T" pattern on the head is quite unique! What a nice touch and gift from the Thayeri Gods...Ha! Ha!

My 2005 female (your offspring that I acquired from Mike B.) shed again...so I'll try and get some update photos of her...she's turing out quite nice these days...Thanks.

Later,
Jim

Thanks, I like the aberrant patterns, he just lacks a cool head spot.

That female you got was one of my favorite last year, very nice head pattern and her mom was an increadible breeder, she produced over 25 eggs every year without even trying. The one with the "T" is one of her 06 sisters (the MSP is a brother too).

Hey Rick, that background looks nice with those snakes, plus that 06 "Dude" is amazing, the lack of head pattern is unreal. i know personally my photos didnt come alive till i started trying new backgrounds, then i scored some sand stone from my girlfreinds mom and i couldnt be happier with my picture quality, those look great
