cream snow pic

boxienuts May 25, 2008 01:54 AM

1st pic was litter at birth, the second two picts I took tonight, the 3rd one is a nice tongue shot, you can see the tongue is clear, milky? color, rather than pink like the siblings and adults. Unfortunately these were taken hours after meals, so you can't see fish, but if you look you can see, waste towards the back. Clearly the snake is taking on some colors now, other than just yellowish, cream, which to me indicates that this might be more a case of a deficiency at birth, and that this snake will continue to color up and look more normal with time, rather than being genetically unique, but it's not certain yet, either way I will still grow it up and breed it back to a parent or sibling or both to see what happens. I will try to take a shot of it as it swallows a fish in 2 days from now when I feed again. When it is swallowing a fish is when you can really see the heart, lungs get red and start pumping away.
