Yet Another huge photo batch!

asnakelovinbabe Oct 11, 2009 10:06 PM

Took a few shots today, Me and Don recently did a bit of a trade... now I have 2.3 beautiful baby vagrans and 3.3 fitchii! Also, recieved an adult male Schuett strain amel eastern from Dashnu. Boy is he pretty!!!

The vagrans I have were sired by my orange male to Don's orange female. (pairing was done by Thomas before we acquired the snakes!) Hopefully as they grow the orange will come out!

Here is a little Fitchii. They are so darned CUTE.

Here is my female Atratus in the sunset. Don't let her innocent gaze fool you. She is an evil, nasty, spiteful little snake! But nonetheless, colorful and gorgeous.

Here's that lovely amel... definitely a T positive type.

And beleive it or not, my hypo is the same darned color as him!!! She's like, the more-melanin'ed version of him! Finally found the right snake to compare her to! Brought her out and stuck her on the floor with him. (boy did he LIKE her!) And yes, she is small, I know. Hasn't grown much at all since I found her, actually. Eats like a pig, loves her fuzzies and silversides. fat and healthy, just not destined to be a giant like most easterns! But, all the garters in that locality are small. Same with the ones I find on the farm!

And here's that good-for-nothing-picky-as-anything flame I found! Doing well! She is a very sporadic feeder. Sadly, you can't see all the lovely green on her in this photo.

My carteret cty male het amel is coloring up well!

Rainbow Man vs. a high black female

Some holdback cherry water snakes... they just LOVE to smear poop on themselves during photo sessions.

The florida easterns got a new pad. Moved them into the 55 gallon. They are loving their lives.

Marigold, lipstick and chester, "cuddling".

I can't resist sharing this one. My female carinata is definitely not a baby anymore! And she HAAATTES me.

It's hard to believe that this was her less than a year ago.

Pics look great !As usual.That carteret county male looks like a stringbean!

Doesn't he though?!?! He's still small for his age too. The female who of course eats anything and everything is a LOT bigger than him. SHe could eat him and there would be no evidence haha. I have a heck of a time getting him to eat anything at all! He will only eat one every 2 or 3 feedings, and he won't always eat the same things. it's very nerve wracking. He's definitely not emaciated or dangerously thin, he just refused to let me put any meat on his bones
