My new Jungle

AbsoluteApril Dec 30, 2008 12:01 PM

Fiance got me a new camera for the holidays, can you tell I am happy?

I still need to play around with it but here’s some shots taken on auto of my new red group jungle male (produced by Matt C.). I’m very happy to add this guy to my collection. I’ve been wanting to eventually cross the Jungle gene into the Harlequin trait.

kind of a weird blue wash on this one:

too bad this one wasn't in focus:

kind of an odd wash on this one too

Over the holidays we also built a new juvi boa rack for my snake room, just a very simple design. Works with the rubbermaid #2221 tubs. The rack is 18"x24"x48". Still doing the temp test work but in a few more days it'll be ready for some occupants!

Hope everyone is having a terrific Holiday Season!

Thanks Dan! That's my favorite part about his pattern as well.
What kind of snake is that in your pic?

Happy New Year!

Thanks Jonathan! Yeah, those circles in the square saddles are pretty cool, it really drew me to this guy (besides the tail of course!)

>>Congrats on the new camera. Does this mean we're in for many more pics?

Oh you know it! We're gonna take over the forum with all the new pics! lol Congrats on your new camera as well, I really liked the explanation of apature (sp?) because I've been having a hard time understanding it, that diagram you posted helps.

Have a wonderful New Year!

Thanks Dave! Not quite as slick as your new camera goodies but it's a huge improvement over my old '98 1.3 megapixel so I'm a happy camper.

Happy New Year! -April

April:

It sounds like Jesse did his homework on what you would like as a Christmas gift. That jungle is a beauty.

Wishing you both a Happy New Year.

Thanks a bunch Brian!
Yeah, Jesse did a good job. My dad didn't do too shabby either, he got me a new PE-2 temp gun. It's nice to have people support your interests like that.
Here's wishing you and your family a wonderful New Year!
Take care,
April

Thanks Mark!

>Jungles are still amoung my favoritest of all!

I think that's a great made up word and to tell the truth, I didn't realize it wasn't a real word at first! lol

Happy New Year!
