Frank has been posting all those pics of his so I figured it was my turn to post something so I went outside today which is rare btw since a couple of days ago at 6 p.m. it was 94 degrees and 108 with the heat index so I stay my a-- inside lol It was overcast today so I went outside for some pics while it was cooler and this is what I came up with (all pics were taken while it was shady)

my Lockwood female who last shed on 7-23




and an old pic for reference of her in the sunlight 3 months ago

and my very first snake a bci named Skeeter who is a he/she cuz I don't know his or her gender but I love it anyways

has some good pink on the sides but couldn't capture it though


and one more

thanks for looking
Bob

Love the Lockwood hypo, he sure does produce some stunning animals!!!!

And no matter what Skeeter turns out to be, it's a good looking boa!!!

cool pics Dave although I did try for y'all. I guess I kind of felt guilty from looking at everyone elses (sp? don't look right) pics and not being an active forum member showing pics so I took one for the team lol I hope Skeeter is a girl cuz I'm been having it since '05 and it's only about 40-42 inches so far so talk about slow grown but I give it a rat every other Friday but if it's a girl it would be cool to have one Motley litter with her to get a couple of keepers and new blood but if it's a boy he has a good home for the rest of his life. Next years acquisitions should include (bci) a female lipstck line albino from Tom, a really nice pastel female (maybe Jimi Reed) or hopefully a pastel het albino from Jeff but he is prolly sold out already before they are born from the Lucy line of course and/or something het coral albino, and maybe a ghost but those arabesque have been looking eye catching but maybe something real nice from Reese would be cool too but I have come to the conclusion that talking too much to you Dave is gonna lead to a boa intervention for myself but you'll help me cope with it I would imagine

those are some nice looking snakes and no matter what gender skeeter is that doesn't change the fact that he/she is one sexy snake

good looking but Skeeter on the other hand is a Petco boa but we have lots of history together that's for sure. He has literally been hand held by for at least 200 hours and I even fell asleep leaving him on the coffee table in a bowl with a blanket over him like I had been doing all week but I fell asleep this time and he made his way out and went missing for 14 or 17 days I can't remember but after I got him or her back we have been inseperable Easily my favorite boa in my little collection but definately not sexy by no means though I appreciate the gesture although it is sexy in my eyes. I am getting a couple of more bci in a couple of weeks and he will definately be the ugliest bci in the collection but personality goes along way in my book

they don't have to be fancy top be sexy. I enjoy simple snakes the most, hence I have a CRB instead of a BRB. The simplicity is sexy in it's own way.

that was a nice tease of pics now you need to take your camera pop open one of the best energy drinks you can find and take a picture of every single animal in your house lol. atleast 5 pics of each minimum i dont care if its a cat dog snake lizzard fly cricket what get a pic lol. and i think i found the deal breaker for you 1 case of monster 1 case of dawn dish soap (taste the best) your first born and that hypo and you got yourself a deal on my male rainbow boa lol. very nice pics keep em comin

TimS Aug 16, 2007 07:07 PM

gotta get a arabesque wether its a normal hypo albino whatever i didnt like them at first but the more i looked at them and now that i own one they are awesome animals cant go wrong with a arab lol and if you wait about 2 years ill have some (hopefully) from my hypo arab poss het albino to albino so hopefully i get a sunglow arab thats my goal the rest is just another snake lol well i might keep a normal arab out the bunch also. they are really cool snakes tho you have to get one lol its a MUST

strictly4fun Aug 16, 2007 10:12 PM

my first born cuz he is 6 and he is my favorite animal in my collection

and him on graduation day from pre-k

and one more with his gold diggin' mother

I don't plan on having no more kids unless I really meet Miss Right which prolly isn't in my future so I will just have to cherish this one. I never really did like the arabesques but the more and more I see of them I am starting to like them more and more. I first started out only liking the thin patterned ones and now also like the bold patterned ones and I really like the albinos too but I like the pink normals a lot though. And the same thing goes for the jungles also. I might have to get one of each in the near future but I think it might be a jungle first but I'll see what kind of deal I can get but I definately want one het albino or albino so that throws the jungle out of my price range but there is no telling what the future holds for me lol

of those bullseyes so I'm hoping some of her offspring will get some of those too but I believe my male het won't be as nice as she is but if she throws me some really orange hypos I'll forgive her lol
