here's a couple annulata I recently snapped shots of while cleaning cages. hopefully I can get a new camera before Spring because mine is not getting the job done for me.

first up is a het albino annulata male that is definitely up to size for next season..

here's a pretty normal looking female annulata that might just end up bred to a het albino next year...

I love the orange on this male het albino...

I've been powerfeeding this guy all year and he's grown A LOT, not sure if he'll be able to breed next season or not but I'm for sure going to try.

Great looking annualta, Mike. I hope that amel goes for you next year. I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce.

Those spotteds should go for you too, eh?

The female is for sure big enough, I'm going to try her with the male albino if he's ready to go at such a young age... But if not she'll probably be paired with one of the het albinos. I power fed the male spotted like crazy, but he got loose a couple months back, only escape since I've switched to racks, and easily my most disappointing escape in many years. In that rack system every tub has a lid on it and I made the mistake of thinking without the lid that gap just wasn't big enough....

The male became one of my favorites because of how much he grew so quickly, his coloration turned out a bit more dull than the female that's for sure but I'm still hoping he turns up one day, his presence in my collection was key for the albinoXspotted project.
