Pics from today, VARIETY!

Jonathan_Brady Jul 24, 2009 05:34 PM

Tried to get some group shots today and found out I'm an idiot. Apparently piss poor results are obtained when you use macro mode and you're not shooting close up, who knew??! lol

The sun was peaking out from behind clouds as well and so I ended up with extremely variable results due to the wide spectrum (pun intended) of light on the animals.

First up is a pair of '08 Rose litter siblings. This is my holdback pair. The female is almost a spitting image of mom (except the baby female has a laddertail) and the male is almost a spitting image of dad (except the baby male has longer peaks and a laddertail).

Another in slightly brighter light:

This is the same two animals, with their '07 half siblings thrown in. This is where the WORST results came in from the photo shoot I had to zoom out pretty far because the '07's just would NOT sit still!

'07 male is on the far left, '07 female is in the top right. Both shot out of the frame after the pic and that was that!

Interestingly, the laddertails popped up in '08 and the sire didn't have a laddertail. In other litters of Guyana animals, laddertails have been produced with reverse striped animals. I'm wondering if they are related traits.

Next up is another Guyana (the previous four were all Guyana animals too) that was born in captivity from a WC gravid imported female back in 2004. I normally don't buy adults that have been in someone elses collection but I had to make an exception for this girl. I LOVE her!

The sun stayed out for her entire shoot so I had to move her into the shade to try and get some shaded pics. Here's one.

The second pic is MUCH more accurate in terms of her color.

I plan to breed the sire to my '08 litter to the above female this season and see what happens. I think a litter full of reverse striped babies would be sweeeeeet! And with his history of throwing laddertails, who knows what I'm going to get!

Last up are the morphs. I only have three and it's just a little project I started so that I could make a really neat looking pet for myself.
First up is a Jason Gonzalez produced '08 Summit hypo pastel jungle. This guy kicks @$$! His tail goes fooooooooooooooooooreeeeeeeeever!
Pic in full sun (browns him out a bit)

Pic with the female Sharp sunglow I'm raising to hopefully breed to one of the Summit hypo pastel jungles offspring after I pair him with an '06 Sharp albino (not pictured).
Partially shaded

The color on her laterals didn't show, but it's NICE!

Hope you enjoyed! No blood was shed in the taking of these pictures

Very nice JB. That 08 litter is incredible...pun intended.

Take care,

Kevin

I'll sell you that new import male if you post up a pic of that REALLY UGLY male you bought from the '08 litter!

Just kidding, I wouldn't sell him to you, EVER. You're not allowed to have THAT many nice Guyanans in your collection! hahaha But seriously, put up a pic of "Ugly JB". I wanna see him!

I can hardly believe those Guyana's are real. If I listed what I like most about BCC and had someone draw a picture of it, they wouldn't be as nice as yours.

I think that was the most amazing compliment I've ever received on them, I really appreciate it!
