the positioning of the snakes in brb soup looks perfect, that's the problem, plus jeff likes brb's better perhaps.

Yeah and the individual status, not wrapped up in a pile looks pretty cool. That was an amazing session, I simply kept adding in one more and one more until one started to move.

I agree, they aren't the same as the variations between BRB morphs and phases, but that Moonglow especially is pretty killer

Agreed, it just doesn't have the flair that your other pic does. That doesn't, however, make this picture any less cool. These are some great pictures, as always.

I would certainly say so!! She is ready to breed and hopefully she will do so for you to one of the new line hypos from that litter she had.... to prove it out!!!

Some imports are tougher to breed, so I wish you luck, her rhythm should be reset in 22 months!!

NICE!!!!

Dave,
Thats a great before and after post. Just goes to show what a little TLC will do.

Was thinking about it and looked back through her record card....

First entry was on 2/11/07 the Sunday after they arrived. She weighed a measly 1057 Grams (2.3 lbs).

In the following 22 months (95 weeks) she has taken 47 meals. Exactly an every other week average (IMO perfect for an adult female breeder). Actually surprised me a little how even it worked out over the 22 months. She did eat more frequent in the early weeks and skipped some meals at various periods later. Again, quite normal to go through periods of wolfing down weekly and other periods of nope, not eating.

She shed a total of 11 times in that 22 month period. Again a quite normal every other month average.

Weighed her this morning and she now weighs 2448 grams or 5.4 lbs. Thats approaching 2.5 X the weight she came in at.
