Coloring Questions

Kat, back to your first post... The term for redness you couldn't remember is "erythristic".

[katach]

Yes thank you.

She does kind of look like the snake in the pic on that link I posted...

[katach]

Yeah she does. I'm going to have to start saving for a vet visit. I have time though she is still young. I think she is only about a year and a half old so she has a little while before she can start breeding.

[EasternGirl]

I thought you weren't going to breed her because of the scar...

[katach]

I'll have her checked by the vet first. If he says she is safe to breed then I'll go ahead and find her a boyfriend. There is a reptile vet about 15min away from me. They are great!!

[EasternGirl]

That's awesome...there are a couple listed around here but I have never tried any of them. In fact, my vet says they will see reptiles but I've never asked about it.

[katach]

Well seeing reptiles and knowing what they are looking at are two very different things. Our vet is very knowledgeable about snakes and even garters. He even knew they have live birth. Not many outsiders know that.

You have me wondering... How do I say this?? your hand has a reddish tint to it in the red stripe picture, the overall hue of the photographs looks "red enhanced" have you doctored those photos?

[katach]

No, only adjusted the brightness. My hands get really pink sometimes. I have circulation issues.
