Feeding time injuries

This litttle radix apparently smelled like a pinky. One of her sisters who was shedding and couldn't see very well, clamped down on her head.
While she was eating a pinky of her on, I noticed a spot of blood on the top of her head. It stopped bleeding after a few moments. Never saw this comming. Treated with a little neosporin and will watch it for the next week.

doesn't look too bad
is her dorsal stripe really that colour?

Really scarey when that happens isn't it, Steve. Great looking girl, I love her color.

The only enhancements I do to my photos is with shadowing. I never touch the colors.(other than my "Wearing green" thread from the other day) It's also been cropped. She is a beauty. She'll be coming to NY this summer along with many of her sieblings. Hoping to not bring any back home. Also, hoping none of them leave. Have become very attached to every one. They all have their own little ways about them. Hope everyone who gets one, enjoys these great little radixes. I sure have.

So is that a "yes" or a "no"? The colours depend on the lighting and sometimes the pictures do lie. I often edit the colours in my photos (the ones I take indoors) so that they correspond with what I saw when I took the photos.

I guess by definition I did enhance the color. The answer is "YES"

I would say that the original color of this snakes dorsal is not as bright as the photo but is as deep and rich as represented.

The blood is still red

Ditto

cameras are much more sensitive to lighting than our eyes are, and they can take some really off-pictures at times! many times in bright lighting a camera will wash color out, boy do I hate that!

george and checkers got in a food fight over worms the day before george went missing checkers had a little nip on her nose but it stopped bleeding after about a minute

I've seen similar injuries many times. A big drop of blood wells up and can appear quite alarming, but when it wipes off there is no visible wound and no long term harm. Garters fight over their food... fact of life!

Great! I've been trying to teach them the social graces. Give them a little refinement and now I find out it's all for naught.
