Hey, I'm back! Some baby albino updates too!

AbsoluteApril Feb 01, 2004 01:53 PM

Never thought I'd be back online! I bet I've missed a lot here!
I wanted to share some pics of my albino babies from 03...
4 survived (and 6 of the hets), I also still have all of
Autumns' litter, it's a lot of babies and a lot of work but
fun to see them grow! I'm amazed at how much variance there
can be in one litter!

Of my albino babies one shed and ate right away while the
other 3 didn't shed or eat until January (they were born 9/03)
On the left is the baby that's shed twice and been eatting a lot
on the right is the most pale of all the babies.. I wonder
how the light one will turn out? Possibly really light or
could turn almost completely bright yellow?

what do you think?

Here is the same brightest baby with one of the mid-level ones

I think the mid-colored ones (the other 2) will get more color
as they shed more.. we'll see! If the brightest one is a male
I'm going to keep him I think, breed him to my lat-striped
female Vegas...

This is one of my favorite pics, the mid-level with one of it's
het siblings, I thought this pic was cute:

This is one of my favorite hets:

some have more pink but I like this one's contrast and connecting
saddles... quite a few of the babies from Bud, the het father of
both litters, have the 'laddertail/connected saddle' look just
like he does.

Well I have tons of pics still to upload from my camera
and some stories to tell, but no time to do it all now, so
I just thought I'd say hi and share these pics... I'm glad
to be back online and hope a lot of the same faces are still
here!! Take care all!
-April

oh, and here's some of the wildlife I see almost every day
here in Vegas now:

for the one in the bottom pic eeewwwwwwww! We have those everywhere up here.

AbsoluteApril Feb 01, 2004 05:10 PM

yeah, I couldn't believe how many there are here...
and they get so big! We also have huge grasshoppers (I was
surpised by those!) and some praying manits
As long as they stay outside, I'm happy!
Nice to hear from you!
Did you do any breedings this year?
I'm giving everyone this year off.

Beautiful animals!!! Sorry about the loss of some of them. I hope all is well.

I'm with Linda. Spiders are YUCKY!!!!
