Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Haven't posted in while... here are some new pics of some of the collection.

I was lucky enough to aquire a few adults this year to add to the collection. This female originated from casey lasik's line. She has a nice stripe on her neck. With any luck she should breed this year.

I also picked up this female this year. She had escaped the previous owner when she was a hatchling. When he found her a few weeks later she had these horrible wounds. Luckily they healed up awesome and I think she is pretty neat looking. They look like burns to me. She should also breed for the first time this year.

She is a screamer.

Its tough to photograph these guys because they are very iridescent.

Here is one of this years babies. Nice crisp pattern on this girl.

Very nice collection. I hope you produce a lot of babies this year. Tom Stevens

Do my pics look really spotty and low quality to you guys? They don't look like that on my computer until I click my own messages. I just got a new computer and havn't figured out the best way to shrink them yet. Anyone with vista have any advise?

compressed or reduced, most likely too large for KS forums.

Yeah, I used to shrink the pics by right clicking them and selecting send to email. I window would pop up and ask if you want to shrink it. That way never seemed to effect my picture quality as much. Vista doesn't work the same way so I tried using a program to shrink the pics and it really made them very grainy.

I guess its time to set up a photobucket account or something similar.

Try using Irfanview, a great (free) little image manipulating program, for resizing. Then upload your photos to a (again, free) photobucket account. You'll have much greater control over size/quality that way. I usually shoot for somewhere between 600 and 800 pixel wide photos, when posting them on the internet, with an 80% compression rate. This give a good balance between image size, file size, and quality.

that 3rd pictured female is outstanding.

Thanks.

You should see the male I have to go with her. I will take some more photos this week.

Hopefully you produce more this year.

Great AP collection. I also hope you produce a lot this year. I need to pick some up in the near future.
