A few pics and some commentary!

Thought I'd share a few pics
This is something you don't see every day; the bottom cage of a 5-high stack NOT pinching the door!

Speaking of "pinching", would somebody pinch ME! These cages ROCK!

I've had folks ask me why I extend the cage liners up the wall a short way. Here's 1000 words for ya:

Without the liner going up the wall, I would have had to clean more. I don't know about you, but I prefer to spend less time cleaning cages and more time admiring what's in them!
This picture also answers another question I've received lately about the absorbency of these new liners I'm trying out. As you can see, they absorb well.

I found out this weekend that even though these new cages allow light to pass through easily, you still need to use a flash. Rose:

Makes her dorsum look darker than it is.

New female. I named her Lilly!

Her dorsum also looks darker than it is. She's a female that needs to be seen in person to be appreciated. Her sides are quite a bit more pink than the pic shows
Full pattern shot showing her reverse stripe off!

Holdback male from Rose's litter two years ago ('07). I was STILL trying to use ambient light on a cloudy day. Didn't go over REALLY well, obviously!

Holdback male from Rose's litter last year ('08).

The same male, the day before:

Sharp sunglow female produced by Big Mike Weitzman at Basically Boas!

Hope you enjoyed!

J.B., they look like nice cages from what I saw in a previous post and in this one.

Rose looks like she is doing great as expected. I really really like that 08 hold back male, he is killer!

Thanks for sharing.

Rose has some more weight to put on and she's currently about 3 lbs underweight from breeding 2 years in a row. I've got 9 months to get that weight on her, plus the weight for the additional length I'm hoping she'll add. I'm hoping to get her up over 6' by the end of November and maybe have her weigh around 8.5-9 lbs. I figure a steady diet of rats or rabbits about every 2-3 weeks should do it just fine

I've got a SMOKIN WC male to pair with her and if they produce the kind of animals I'm thinking that they SHOULD produce, the babies will be the MOST colorful, perfectly patterned BCC you'll EVER see.

And you're right, the '08 guy rocks! His sister just GLOWS with color. I really think there's something different about her as she even stood out from her siblings in the goo! She's in shed at the moment. I'm hoping to catch some nice pics of her next weekend if I'm not too busy.

Later man!
