Rojo Loco - Gratuitous Photo Shoot (dialup warning! - 8 pics)

bloodpythons Oct 25, 2004 05:13 PM

Got the opportunity to photograph my favorite bad boy today. RoLo (as he is now affectionately known) is a bit on the uppity side, but I think I'll let it slide.








Enjoy!

Nope...not kidding a bit. Can't wait to see a "RoLoBino," although I'm pretty darn happy with the stripped down version.

Borneos - you & me both kiddo! Fingers crossed!

Oh sh*t...that's ridiculous. Probably the single best looking snake I've seen. He looks like a damn paint-by-number project! My God...

No new pics. I actually tried to get some during a cage cleaning last week and he was having none of it. He simply refuses to cooperate with much of anything other than eating. Gotta love the little prick's spirit, though! I'll see if I can get a few decent ones soon...

They are stunning photos of some amazing looking bloods.
You are so lucky to deal with these guys for a living.
Keep the pics coming.

I've seen literally hundreds of bloods since the mid-70's and this one is definitely in the top five.

That's about right...since on some days he won't hesitate to give you a big ol' KISS!!

Fortunately he has some super-docile females in his future.

Thx J!

Well aside from the obvious amazing color!! I love his head and the little pink splotches on his neck, just the shading around the patterns and contrast of him is amazing. Guessing his papa to some of those great little reds you posted last week? Keep em comin Kara!

He just bleeds color Jordan...wish you could see him in person. It just seems to drip off of him...some days I honestly can't comprehend it.

And no, he's not a daddy yet. He's just under 2 years old & will be breeding for the first time this upcoming season. So hopefully the best is yet to come.

Here's hoping he's not het for UGLY!

THANK YOU!!!!

Holy unbelievable wow. His head doesn't even look like a blood python's! He's in a class of his own, that's for sure -- never get tired of looking at him.

Thanks for posting those pics; as I said, we can never have enough RoLo pictures!
