Foe Smithshwn - Cocoa pics

flavor Jan 22, 2008 07:50 PM

Here are some more pics of Cocoa. You can see she's changed a lot since she was born.

Immediately after she was born, with normal colored clutchmate.

After 1st shed with normal clutchmate.

Getting a little darker. With Hypo for comparison.

Same age as previous with normal for comparison.

Getting darker.

Recent Pic.

Ok, you've seen mine, now let's see yours. Do you have an anery x anery pairing going? If so, that will be the first time it's been done and your results will be very interesting to anyone breeding these animals. Good luck with them.

hopeful for not to distant future:

more distant future hopefuls
1 or 2 of each maybe a breeding pair?
--anery boa (ooooh)
--jungle carpet python (love to have 1 or 2)
--dumeril boa (ahhhh)

slightly more wishful thinking
--hypo br rainbow boa (love em)
--anery br rainbow boa (oooh even better!!)
--motely boa (gorgeous!!)

I really don't have any idea why the pronounced color change. I'm hoping that breeding the hypo gene into them will take care of some of this.

They do look a LOT like that, and there's definitely not one speck of black on either of them. Hopefully he'll have a little better idea pretty soon. Nice looking BRB's! Take care

To post the pics they must be in the net somewhere, NOT on your hard drive (common mistake) Once the pic is on the net, open it up. Copy/paste the URL into the KS post...

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b237/rainbows-r-us/BRB/Male/Calico/2007_12_21Fluffypic09.jpg

Then add html tags before and after (shown here with an added space so they won't work)...

[I MG]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b237/rainbows-r-us/BRB/Male/Calico/2007_12_21Fluffypic09.jpg[/I MG]

And one more time without the added spaces and voila...
