Spring Photos 2010

Axanthic Iowa albino female... I lucked out with this snake. If your monitor is adjusted properly you should be able to see the blue glow she gives off. It's VERY cool. If your monitor is off even by a little, you may not be able to see it. It's *almost* impossible for the camera to pick up.





My male Santa Cruz. These snakes are so damned pretty that it hurts my eyes sometimes.

And the winner for prettiest belly in all of the garter snakes goes to.... atratus!


Here is my female, she is lighter in color, like a turquoise blue! The male is a better and less picky eater than her but she's coming along. She looks much smaller in these photos than she really is!








My male natrix natrix. He is unrelated to my females, who are solid black and gray without spots. Do you know why you never see photos of my natrix? Because the little #*&(#'s never, for any reason, hold still! They are much more persistent than garters.

Here is that male checkered that I picked out of an otherwise ordinary bunch of babies. He glowed, and he still does. He is literally lime green, but sadly, my camera won't capture his real color and the way he glows in the dark.


His head is very pretty.


My female albino redsided. I much prefer normals and snakes with melanin to albinos but I have to admit this thing is AWESOME!

I don't think I introduced this pair properly yet. From the same guy I got the male natrix from, I picked up this pair. These are erythristic flames from Scott. As small as they are, they are so colorful and I can't imagine what they will look like as adults. Especially the female. They are small enough now that the erythristic part has not even really kicked in yet!

The male:

I photo'ed a few other snakes during this session as well. I will throw you guys a little sampler of them:

Alistair, my pastel boa constrictor imperator.

Fluffy, my male hypo het albino red blood python... for those of you who don't know I LOVE blood pythons. His partner Cupcake is in shed.


Sprinkles, my female Sumatran Short Tailed python (black blood). Ooooo she gives me tingles. So shiny...


Together...


That's all for today folks! Any and all feedback is appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to view! Happy Easter! (I took Ra to see the easter bunny...)
