LOL, got busy at work and couldn't get to these until just now.....

A few misc here and more in follow on posts....

George, a 2006 I have in quarantine in a hatchling rack. Do ya think his water bowl might just be a tad small?

And OT Jasmine, just shed and looking fabulous. So hard to get a good pic of an albino arabesque.... Yeah, these are not the good either


Funny, she has this one dark scale, not even the whole scale, looks like a tiny mushroom cloud..

More pics to follow

what is going on with that water bowl? and I still think it's funny that you have a snake named jasmine, but I think you should've named Amber jasmine instead of the BCI, cuz Amber is prettier than any BCI, and you have to earn a name like jasmine.

It's my standard hatchling tub water bowl and he thinks it's a hide box. I have to only put a few tablespoons of water in it or he simply displaces any more out. He's been in and out of that bowl several times already.

Well, I'd have to disagree, when you were given the name Jasmine, you may have been really cute but still were a stickey slimey bawling lil brat.

Hmmmm, not much has changed?

JK, had to bust yer chops!!!

OK, I took the poriginal and instead of resizing doen, I cropped away most of the pic leaving just the area with the spot. I little fuzzy but you can see it much clearer.

I've gotta say Dave, as much as I like my own BRB's I would love to have some of the color you have in your collection, especially on those Will Bird babies! I'm just hoping that Ziggie will turn out as red as I think he will. some of your snakes (atleast by what I can tell by the pics, and we all know how that goes) have similar coloration to him.

the closest I've seen in your pics to his coloration is Chris, in this picture particularly. (hope you don't mind me linking to your pic)

Is that pic very close to his ACTUAL coloration?? If so I'm a happy man! That picture shows the exact same coloration as Ziggie does in real life.

You shameless thief!!!! Atta boy!!!

That pic of Chris does "hint" at his true color. He really does glow so much I just can't capture it. You know how that goes. If your Ziggie looks anything like that you definitely have yourself a keeper in anyones book!!!!

You send Ziggie to me and I'll let you know who else in my collection (1 larger now with Ziggie) looks just like him or closest to him. Then you'd know for sure!!!!

Sounds like a great plan to me!!!

he was graded b plus on the label of his cup. only thing i can figure is one of his cranial stripes is shorter than the other. otherwise i can't find any "flaws." and the name ziggey actually came from his pattern, which i like, he has about 3 or 4 long zig-zag patterns on his back. one of which probably extends the length of atleast 4 or 5 of the would-be circles

Wow, that must get confusing! If Uncle Dick and Aunt Jane ever get a dog, they should name it Pat. That could really make things interesting at a family reunion!
