    Orange radix

    Many of you will remember my radix named Tang http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/general-talk/5515-orange-man-radix.html &
    http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/urge...s-trouble.html Tang had a very orange dorsal that stayed orange to the tip of his tail.
    Born to the Ranch a few weeks ago I offer you Sunkist. This little radix had a solid orange dorsal and something extra. What would be the normal white on him is an off orange color. Sort of Peach colored.
    This photo does not do this little one justice. The photo washes out most of this snakes color qualities. This is one amazing little radix.
    I've never seen a radix with so much orange. I will be keeping a close eye on this little scrub as it grows.
    I will work on getting a photo that is worthy of this snake.

    Ohhhh, one of my favorite colors! (I have a weakness for bright oranges and yellows. I guess my 'dream snake' would be colored like a Baltimore oriole or a goldfinch.)

    Re: Orange radix

    I'm really disappointed in my camera. This snakes dorsal stripe is a knockout orange.
    and then there's all that orange/peach body coloring.
    Since it's so young I'm hoping the color intensifies as it matures.
    I hope, I hope.

    Re: Orange radix

    When doing close-ups like that, be sure to use the macro setting, you know, the little flower symbol. Also, try with and without flash in different light situations. Some cameras even have a setting to up the saturation, change the white balance, etc. Try all those different settings. Whatever it takes to get a better representation of the true colors.

    Re: Orange radix

    Wow, gorgeous colors! I think I'd actually like it better if it wasn't albino tho. Do the 'normal' siblings of these albinos have strong yellow and orange or does melanin mute everything down?
