    After about three weeks of agony, Mazikeen shed today! Ahhhhh!!!!

    I did that serpwidgets thing to measure how long she is, and she's apparently just over 24 inches. Dang.

    Since I just got home from work, any daylight is gone, so I let her wander around my plants for a few minutes while I took some pictures. I find the daylight bulbs are pretty accurate at reflecting natural colors.

    That's such a nice thing to say! If you do get a snake, you'll have to post tons of pictures!

    Yeah, after the initial equipment costs snakes are pretty low-maintenance. Other than my obsessive need to Make Things Better(TM) I haven't really spent much since I bought her rats for the year. After the new tub lid is installed and the Arcadia bulb is up and running, I probably won't have to* buy anything (except substrate) until it's time for a rat refill.

    *But I will anyways because I can't stop myself lol. Self control is low, impulsiveness is high.

    Mazikeen progression thread
    Love keeping up with this thread! Such a beautiful snake. I’m curious though, what camera are you using to take pictures of her with? Typically my iPhone does the job, but it doesn’t show “true colors” as well as I’d hoped. Lighting is everything I suppose lol

    You're right about lighting, because I'm using a hand-me-down Samsung Galaxy S4 to take pictures of her. It doesn't even allow me to change the shutter speed lol. I never use flash if I can help it. It's nearly impossible to get actual decent photos of her, so I take a bunch to try to get rid of blur, and that doesn't always work.

    I just post the nice ones I manage to get lol. I think my camera kind of washes stuff out, because to my eye one of the succulents she's sitting on looks yellow, but in pictures it looks light green. IDK man.
