Nice pictures, Don. Some lovely snakes there.:) Cariad is growing nicely... love the attitude.:D

[Elliot]

Very nice, I love snakes with red.

[Stefan-A]

How big is Cariad now? ;) Love the attitude, too. :D Too cute.

I still like the anery x colourless red sided.

[ssssnakeluvr]

cariad is about 10" long....taking pinkie mice now. batteries ran out just as she struck at the camera....would have been a cool shot!

[adamanteus]

batteries ran out just as she struck at the camera....would have been a cool shot!

That would have been fun to see! I got tagged by one of my baby concinnus tonight. Bless.:rolleyes:

[gregmonsta]

:eek: Gorgeous snakes!!!! :D

[ssssnakeluvr]

If I had a dime for every time I was tagged.......could buy all the garters on my wish list!!! :D I will try again this weekend to get some more pics...supposed to snow :( tired of the snow!!!!! gotta get all the cages cleaned anyway, snakes will be coming out of brumation in about 2 weeks. I brought out my valley garters and the hypermelanistic and gray wanderings in the photos. Hopefully they will get busy!!! :eek:

[adamanteus]

Fingers crossed for you, Don.:)

[Sid]

Really nice photos, Don. Thanks for sharing.

[ssssnakeluvr]

thanks! Love taking them.....just need a bigger gallery!!!! :eek:

[Stefan-A]

10 inches? My girls are up to 16 already. Am I over-feeding mine, perhaps?

[ssssnakeluvr]

no, you are fine...mine is just a little finicky...eating pinkies, but not every feeding. once a week...sometimes skipping a week.

[Lori P]

Great pics Don!! I really like Cariad too. What a beauty!! :)

[adamanteus]

BTW. For those members who are new to the forum, Cariad is our forum mascot... named by CrazyHedgehog (Inge) after she won the 'Guess the Number of Babies' competition. So, although Don cares for Cariad, she belongs to us all!:D

[Lori P]

Oh CRUD... another mouth to feed... (sigh)

LOL:D

[drache]

Don's feeding her for us
she looks great, Don
and the others as well

[Snaky]

Very nice snakes, Don! :)

[GarterGuy]

Nice pics Don, thanx for sharing. Got any pics of your lone female T.e.terrestris? Any luck on finding a male for her yet?

Does that mean we have a time-share :D? .... when do we book our slots?

[ssssnakeluvr]

here's the lone female....haven't gotten a mate yet...want one bad, preferably high red.

[adamanteus]

She's nice, Don. Can I have her?:D

[Stefan-A]

You have enough snakes, James. :D

Can I have her, Don? :D




ps. James, I have an OT question about terrestris, do I have to start a new thread? ;)

[Lori P]

No, me. He has enough. Send her here. :p

[adamanteus]

I'm sure Don wouldn't mind you asking your question here.:)

[Stefan-A]

That is a good looking terrestris, Don. You have to show us a few pics after she's shed. ;)

How are they compared to vagrans? Aggressive feeders?

[ssssnakeluvr]

found the macro setting on my camera....after having the camera a while....:eek: here's some more pics....

[ssssnakeluvr]

and a final test of the macro setting....a little visitor in my critter room...an ant...next to my daughter Nikki's fingernail (camera couldn't focus on the ant, got her finger there to get it to focus).

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//504/medium/ant.jpg

[ssssnakeluvr]

if I could get a male I would have babies available....:rolleyes: she isn't getting ready to shed..the flash reflected off her lens and makes it look that way. she is a good feeder, only time I have had problems is in the winter when she wants to hibernate. She is wild caught, I got her about 5 years ago. she loves to musk me every time I pick her up...:mad:

[drache]

I like that you found the macro setting
fantastic photos

[tikichick]

Beautiful photos!! Beautiful snakes!!

[gregmonsta]

I love all of them .... :)

[Lori P]

Wow-- wonderful pics!!! I can't even pick a favorite, altho I'm getting more attached to Cariad after seeing her attitude pics!!!!

[anji1971]

Those are all great pictures!! The attitude just makes Cariad cuter, I think!
And BTW, some of our not-so-new members (myself!) didn't know about the mascot thing yet. Thanks for that info James!:)
