Here are pics of some young bloods I've been raising that I finally found time to photograph.

A couple of new females...

This one is a squigle worm & didn't want to hold still for pics!

A sexy male I wish I could keep (but have a feeling Kev will kill me if I do!!!)...he's already SO red. Sigh...

And a cute little pair of orange-headed Sumatran short-tails that I couldn't resist!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Kara,
The all are really nice bloods...whats up with the squigle worm?..that thing makes me want it bad..really nice looking blood..love the tiger stripes and the high white...

Thanks Michael!!! I'm really not sure what's up with the "Squigle" (that's officially her name now ), but I have a couple more at home that are almost identical to her. I think she's just a really pretty blood and I can't wait to see her all grown up...and hopefully someday produce some more that look just like her (of course I'll be happy with "close to looking like her" too).

...of another female I have with the similar banding in the pattern. She's a few months older than Squigle.

Shes really nice too.But Squigle is one beautiful banded Blood.What really is cool is the amount of white with the reduced pattern and those bands.I hope you post pics of that one as it matures. And if you ever decide to........LOL
Thanks for the pics..that was nice.
Michael

As usual! I love the color variances in them its amazing, hopefully they wont dirty up too much as the age. I think I like the first one the best. It's eyes look crazy! Those blacks are really nice too.

Thanks Angel!!!

Simply put, I'm exceedingly lucky to have them!!!! Every single day that passes reminds me to be thankful for
A) Having such a fabulous friend & role model who got me hooked on bloods (thanks Tracy!!!!)
B) Having a significant other who loves this as much as I do (thanks Kev!) (and Tracy...you little devil )
C) Being able to work with such lovely animals!!!!

Right now I'm shooting a Nikon Coolpix 5700, and am finally getting the "true blue" shots that I want after experimenting with several different settings & backgrounds. I just long for the days where it's warm enough to take outdoor pics! There's nothing quite like a red blood on green grass...

Website coming soon!!!!!

See you next weekend???? Your babies are FAT and SASSY!!!!!!!

XOXOXOXO

Hey Kara,
Thanks for the update. That Tracy huh! Well she did the right thing by you. She could've introduced you to a different type of swamp wamper (kingsnakes). And then we would never get to see all of them lovely bloods and short-tails of yours. LOL! See you next week.
