New Baby Pix

You can make simulated rock (painted foam) backgrounds though, using the same methods people use to make landscaping and waterfalls. That would probably be cheaper.

Yeah I love those foam background and waterfall vids, they also make super cool caves and such out of foam.

This video is one of the better ones (dopey music but the instructions are decent). I wouldn't have to buy/order anything for this if I use glue and eco earth. Wonder if the ecoearth would stay on fairly well? I'm thinking it would be smart to spray paint it brown before glueing the eco-earth to it so if some got wiped away on the shelves it wouldn't show.

These backgrounds would be cool in your tanks too Concincussman, would change the whole look/feel of the glass. With shelves it would allow for more crawling/activity space too.

I have moss sheets already purchased that I was thinking about using to cover the back of my biggest tank. Just so I'm not staring at a white wall behind the glass. Should make the snakes feel more secure too. Just haven't got around to it.

Just bought a new (well new to me) camera, that Coolpix s6000 that Richard was raving about. Richard thanks for the tips, it would have taken me hours to figure out the settings (assuming my attention span lasted that long, which is not likely).

Pix aren't great as I just used it for the first time today, regardless Redsided asked me to post pix of the flame baby as he has one too and being relatively new we both liked to compare (expect more comparison pix from two dorky new people excited about their first flames).

This is his "good side".





His less colorful side:









Sorry no pix of the Concinnus Richard, he is shedding and in a bad mood.

Those dang concinnus get so pissy when its shedding time! My northwesterns are laid back, but my little conciunnus' are literally trying to pick a fight with my hand if I'm having to clean up their water dish, a large load of poo, or spilled water... Little Snappy would coil up and wave her head back and forth with a bit of a strike until I was well away They are such funny little snakes. You cant not love the concinnus, even if they are pissy and hateful like Snap

NIce photos.

That flame is awesome. The unevenness is kinda cool.. different. Glad you got the camera.

Yeah...that pretty much describes him! A week of hiding due to the shed...then he comes out and wants FOOD and nothing else, don't touch him, don't look at him, he just tolerates my presence for food.

Thanks for the kind words RedSided.

RepGuru can't you order from other Euro countries? Or is it super expensive for the shipping? Seems like you would have better luck finding what you want in Germany, Holland, etc...

Here are a couple of pix of the Concinnus that blessed me with his presence for about 5 minutes today. He was not in a photo taking mood and just wanted to gorge after his week long shed fast. They see anything like a camera moving towards them and they head straight for it.

Good looking little scrub.
I'm very pleased with my T. concinnus'. Great snakes.

That's how Ember is. If I get the camera he'll come straight for it. One time he even started trying to chew on the glass because he thought it was a mouse... He had eaten the day before that.

That is a nice little guy. Very, very cute!
He looks like Ember, with more defined spots.

He's awesome!!
