    2022 Boa Additions

    2022 was a productive year for me to gather a small group of breeders. I added 7 new quarantines, and will likely add some more in 2023. For now, let me introduce the ones I got this year!

    It took me way too long to get this post up because I had to edit all these photos so they weren't so washed out. lmao

    First up is Aleister, an RC pastel hypo jungle het Kahl, straight from RC himself. He's been my fastest grower despite eating the same prey size as the others on the same schedule, and being larger than them. He's shed for me 3 times already, and just got moved up to small adult mice with the majority of my other 2022's.

    One of the first pics I took of him. It's kind of a mucky pic, but he was also in shed at the time, and taken with a different camera than I use nowadays.



    Once he shed and I was able to get my first outdoor photos.





    A little later, but no new shed yet.







    A little after his next shed.





    No shed, just another fired up day.





    Another random shot:



    And these were the last pics I got before the weather turned.

    Yes! The app is really convenient. A lot of these photos aren’t on my phone anymore, so gotta work them on the laptop and upload here to introduce them, but once they’re caught up I can post pics through the app as I take them.

    Of course, now it wants to give me problems uploading pics. Keeps giving me an error message, and I had to make some of the pics smaller. Even then it took a few tries just to add these pics.

    Speaking of, updates on the RC guy. Currently on 15-18 gram small adult mice, but thinking of moving up to ~20 gram mice soon. He’s one of the longest, but slenderest of my 2022’s.

    Post-shed!





    And my bf (with normal sized hands) holding him.

    Well this is how he decided to look well after shed. Lol My normal half RC pastel boy used to be redder than him, now he’s running for his spot.

    Alright, finally introducing Gengar. The pics have all been edited, but they still look so pale and washed out on my laptop. He's my normal pastel boy, and is Dominika's grandson. His dad is an RC pastel, and mom is EBV red group x salmon x Keller x Summit. These aren't the most recent pics, just what I've got on my laptop. Once he's up to size, I plan to pair him with Dominika. Hoping fall of 2024. I can only imagine the potential in this pairing.

    Some pics from when I first got him, he hadn't even had his second shed yet!







    This was a little bit after his first shed, and after a meal. His first fired up phase, and quite the difference! He didn't really pop until I got him outside, seeing him indoors didn't prepare me for what he looked like outside.



    This photo is totally untouched, I just put the camera on full zoom to capture as much of his true color as possible.



    I don't think I actually edited this one either, so this is what I was trying to correct on my laptop. On my laptop, a lot of the photo is just washed out and hard to see, not much contrast, and no depth to color. On my phone it looks a lot better.



    Fired down again:



    A different day, again fired down.



    Beginning a shed cycle:



    And deep in blue:



    Post shed and fired up again!
