SEE?! SEE?! auto focus works!

Those were autofocus actually. It was late and I was being lazy trying stuff out on the new camera.

Just saying auto focus doesn't always work so well.

Tank(Chelydra serpentina)gets a neck rub twice a day. Morning and evening.
I know who's in charge. He's a good turtle.
He's sitting right beside me as I type so I've got to make it good.

I'm sure he's very forthcoming with all the PC technical advice/support and it will only cost you a neck rub. Good deal.

Hah he seems so content there

I believe it was 6-7 years old there if I remember correctly. Not my snake though so I can't say 100%, but it's still the largest Northern I have seen an actual photo of.
I haven't heard any 10' rumours but not surprising, I know some people that would insist the snake shown is 10'+. It's funny with lengths though how they mysteriously shrink when the tape measure comes out haha.. I can't even count how many people have told me about their "6' corn snakes" that seem to shrink to 4' or less when seen in person

My male northern is somewhere over 5' at about 3 years old now. He jumped up over 4' his first year then slowed right down & didn't eat much in year 2. He's started eating like a beast and is having another growth spurt so I think 7'-ish might be in his future.

Decent age, at the amount of food my girl is pounding down I wouldn't be surprised if she put on several more inches this summer.. She's eating a jumbo rat the size of a squirrel every 5-7 days like clockwork, she has it fully digested by day 3-4 and is already out looking for food again, crazy crazy snake, yours looks good as well!

Anway- Today was expo day, was a pretty small expo/slow due to the fact it's May and most breeders don't have much yet.. Had a few decent booths, the typical importers and some mass breeders along with a few people there with all sorts of various things.. Picked up a bad attitude small savannah monitor, he's got a few problems and he's an absolute jerk, so I'm working on that at the moment.. The other pickup was a hatchling nile.. I looked into the display where the guy had all these, most looked typical, but this ones yellows are amazingly bright, beautiful baby!

So "Jurassic" looking. Nice lizard.

Beautiful nile, hopefully it keeps more of that colour than the typical adult as well. Should make for a stunning example at any rate.

Mine was slightly duller and has kept most of her color at 40", this one should be even more stunning!
