Chinese Beauty eggs!

This big T positive albino Chinese Beauty laid a clutch of 12 eggs last night. I bred her to a young male calico taeniurus, so the offspring will be het for both.

Thanks Randy!

She was so tired this morning, that she hardly fought me for the eggs.

Nice clutch and great pic. This seems to be shaping up to be an exciting season for a lot of people.

Thanks Matt!

Pretty exciting for me, so far - even though I am still wondering what's up with several of my snakes.

The color and gloss on that her remind me of some fine porcelain...exquisitely beautiful Toby! I'd love to see some more of your animals.

Thanks Brad!

I'll try to work on getting new pics (or old pics) up of more of my snakes. My better camera is not functioning right now though, so I am taking pics with our old point and shoot.

Well, the flash metering in that one pic may not have fired hard enough but the image sharpness is as good as you can do in a 72px format at that size. The bright coloration of the snake might have thrown the meter off and cutoff the flash too soon?

Looking forward to more pics when you get a chance.

Just looked at that pic again...I'll be the camera was on center-weighted metering and those eggs right in the center are what threw the meter off. ...just in case anyone cares
