that had to of took atleast three things of turtle wax
No turtle wax, that's the result of hanging out in a nice damp location, that's the look of fresh FULLY hydrated skin on a BRB. Of course she's no slacker looking BRB to start with!!

They're all growing nicely. Since they were so lat in the year, they will not be ready for breeding until 2009/2010. I'm assuming from their size (and comparing to holdbacks from my mid Nov litter) they were born late 2006.
There are a few standouts, Duh Genevieve, Duh Thing, also Gomez. The rest are a bit plain but still very much worth hanging onto for isolating the genetics.

I think he might be a little camera shy, he's almost always looking away from the camera. You should try to help him through this fear by taking lots of pictures of him and posting them all here

looking at tons of pics of great animals ever get old? I say keep them coming the more the better. Anyone who says otherwise is no fan of animals of any kind and should be removed from the forum

the process for getting pics and how long (short) of a time it takes.
The photo area is the top of a white melamine cage. Overhead are several track lights aimed at the area. Some with GE reveal bulbs and others with normal bulbs.
I find one that just shed, pull it out, place under upside down bowl.
Clean tub and put tub halfway back in. All ready to accept it's occupant back in after pics.
Take one pic of the cage label to be certain I know who it is when processing pics. No, I can't tell them all apart all the time. Certain ones are obvious, but even some of those when in pics and the key indicator not showing (like hook) could be mixed up with another.
Lift off bowl and fairly quickly move into position for first pic.
Focus and snap two w/out flash
turn on flash and take two more with flash.
Turn off flash
Move into position for second angle and repeat 4 pic process.
Move to third angle and repeat 4 pic process
Put snake away.
Repeat entire process for each snake.
Transfer pics to temp folder on laptop hard drive
Use Picassa to show pics, decide which to keep, crop and adjust lighting on those pics, discard the rest
rename each pic with date taken, snake name and sequence number
Copy pics to photobucket upload folder
move originals to individual snake folders
open photobucket pics with Microsoft photo editor
resize down to fit screen
upload to photobucket
copy past addresses to my pic spreadsheet one at a time
copy paste pic addresses to post, whole block at a time.
Phew, that does sound like a lot but in real time took less than an hour for those last two sets.

for you since I copy and paste a lot of your pics to repost them too when I talk (type) to you and notice the names in all the pics but didn't know you dated them though. And since you have so many snakes each one will surely have its folder since Dave goes on picture binges
lol but that's great for the forum
Bob
All your snakes are very nice, but wow, this one is the
best little BRB you've shown so far, imo. Fantastic.
Thanks for the pics.
Ed
Thank you, Rhett does have a 1 year jump on his year younger sibs/cousins. I know in a year they'll all look even better. They look so stunning even now with only 4 or 5 sheds.

if you can send me say Hook, Phoenix, Betty (after the babies of course), maybe Daisy, Dottie, Mickey, your male anery, Hershey, Nestle, Pepper, Reeses', Woody, Coral, Ruby and I'll get a possible super double dose cherry at a later date
I thought I had you going but those are my favs and I'll take sub-par pics for everyone but they look better when you take them so you might want to keep them

Thanks Aubrey, but BOB says no more pics and that he'd take them off my hands and post crappy pics of them. Couldn't let that happen so I'll just have to keep them and not post any pics of them.
