New Ordinoides Photos

[KephrenJorgensen]

I had a friend bring over his camera after the one I borrowed from school turned out to suck. The pictures are pretty nice I can actually tell the difference between the babies now. Anywho, here they are.P1050322.jpgP1050328.jpgP1050333.jpgP1050334.jpgP1050329.jpg

Very nice. The most underrated and under kept Thamnophis species. I'm hope to have a nice breeding program in place over the next few years.

. The babies with the most visible patterns are the ones that eat the most. I am going to brumate the non eaters soon. The mom and her other P1050338.jpgP1050339.jpgP1050340.jpgP1050346.jpgP1050319.jpg3 babes

Looks like the snake in the last photo might have a lip infection or am I off base?

[RedSidedSPR]

OOO Very pretty! I do see the swollen looking area on her top left lip also.

That snake is melanistic. Not super dark but melanistic anyway. Note how dark the eyes are. Normally a NW will have fairly bright eyes of red, gold, yellow, etc. Love the "vanishing stripe" ones. I think it's quite possible that some of the babies are melanistic too and will likely darken up as they grow.

I see it on both sides. If it's infected, the snake could be in trouble. However, I've found them quite often like that seeming to be an old injury and not really bothering them. Is that one eating OK? It is possible it's from bite injuries/food fight but not necessarily.

Can you use that camera again? or another decent one? I would like to see photos of the melanistic one I showed above, taken in natural day light, no flash. Or if you did do that, more photos please. I might be willing to trade or make some kind of deal for a melanistic like that. Possibly one or two of the babies.

I was thinking the same thing, but the OP is from Canada.
