04Arabesque Albino - 04SS Salmon Male - 04Mango Salmon Male - 03 MK Salmon Male

You can pretty much just anticipate a dial up warning on all my picture posts 8) .

I didnt get many shots of my Ara because the sun kept going in and out of the clouds. It was warm out today (74) but the wind would kick up every once and a while with cool air ... didnt like that for the boas so I didnt keep them out long.

All of the boas were in their dark phases in these shots.

Here's "Arwen, my Arabesque Albino Female born in May of 2004. She is one of the most, if not the most, docile boa ive ever owned.

Here is Mr.Clean, Finally some outside shots of him. He is FIESTY ... struck at me 4 or 5 times in the process of taking 10 or 15 shots .. lol.. I was risking a bite on the closeups.

All my salmons are possible supers by the way.

Im not sure if ive mentioned to you all yet that he has no black in that tail... Well now you know 8) .

Here is Manglow. This is the first time I have taken the new salmons outside... Really got a good idea of their true color today ... Me likes.

Look at the mango goodness:

And here is just one shot of my MK litter 2003 Male. He is in dark dark phase here. I love his orange undertone .. its really intense. He is really impressive ... he is responsible for getting me hooked on salmons :D . I only got one shot of him because the wind kicked up and sun went behind clouds.

Here is a shot of him from 4 months ago just so you can get a decent idea of him:

Thats all folks!

What kind of camera did you use to take those pictures?

Thanks,
Greg

Great little camera. No low light assist so in indoor low light situations its not the best. But its fast (low shutter lag) and takes great macro shots outside. Perfect for boa pictures.

It costs around $250.

You have some fantastic Hypos, then to top it off with an Arab Albino? Do you plan on making some Sunglows, or other projects? Those are so Awesome ! ! !

The Albino Arabesque female is my link to Arabesque sunglows . She is a sibling to sunglow arabesques, her parents were an Arabesque Albino Male and a Salmon Het Albino Female. So she has some salmon influence in her. I think that may be where her nice orange coloration comes from. Arabesque is an amazing color morph in itself but it will also accept introduced color effeciently. Tom also had a litter of Arabesque Albinos from Coral bloodines ... They defenitly took on the coral trait well let me tell ya... they are STUNNING! So I hope to get either a Sunglow Male or a Salmon Het Albino Male for her to make some nice sunglows. Because she already has some salmon influence in her blood, I think adding more will make for even nicer Arabesque Sunglows in comparison to the ones produced from initial Hypo Het Albino x Arabesque Albino (or het) breedings.

The very clean male salmon I have not found a designated mate for yet.. I havent decided for sure. Obviously he will be plugged into mutliple projects but I like to establish an initial main purpose. I am thinking I will get either a Sharp Albino or a Coral Albino for him. I think hes a super and has strong enough of a clean bloodline (the whole SS litter was clean) to pass it on even when not paired with another necessarily clean bloodline. Which makes him a good candidate for Sunglow projects.


The Mango Male I have planned to go with my Harlequin Female. They both have excellent unique and intense undertones with some "dirt" (I like to call it "character" :P) in their upper side regions. I think they compliment each other well. Should make for some nice harly salmons. Would be cool if mango proved super but im not holding my breath no that .


The 2003 MK salmon male will go with my 2001 EBV female later this year. The ebv has excellent pastel coloration. Will be my first attempt at breeding. I cant wait! But my main idea for him is to go with my new G-litter abberant high orange female salmon. They are both very orange and both K grades. I want to plug in the most orange offspring into sunglow bloodlines.

Those are my basic plans at this point. I will admit that my plans have flip-floped all around over the past month but I think I am pretty well settled into what I want to do now. I doubt anymore drastic change in plans will take place.

Thanks again for the compliments all.
