Stylish out of the egg <3

I have yet to get a good shot with the proper lighting but the top of her head especially will sometimes show some nice iridescence! And her belly too!

Just a beauty! I love the dark morphs...so shiny. :D

She is gorgeous, even glamorous.
The Russian rats are always on and off my short list for the next snake.
(We are OUT of space!)
Maybe someday...

Oh yes totally glamorous! Totally worthy of anyone's wishlist! Hopefully one day you can have one too! You will fall in love <3

She looks amazing. Love rat snakes. So beautiful to look at and quite the variety as well.

Thank you! She certainly is a little model! Her bands are starting to get a bit darker already!

Beautiful girl.
The Russian rat has been on my short list for too long....

I always find it difficult to take photos of this little one!

Been a while since I posted about this little one!

She's now on fuzzies and starting to get a little bolder as she's growing! She's been loving her aspen to dig little tunnels!

Just wait and see, they turn out to be more and more fun. As they grow, so does their personality :)

Thank you! I'm starting to see it! She's getting less shy with my presence and handling. It's been really rewarding seeing her out and about all day and hiding significantly less!

I really love watching her tiny face poking out and watching me from every crook and cranny imaginable haha. I swear she has a thing for pooping on plants!

More of her cuteness!

Gosh, SUCH a Beauty !!!

I remember that. I would walk around and then feel like being watched. Turn around and there was this tiny head peeking around a corner, watching intently !! LOL. Once older, they never bothered to hide. Unless in shed.

She lives in a treasure chest?

Little girl is going to inherit Tappy's old hide! It's too big for her now but she seems to like climbing on it already! I'll be giving it to her when she's ready for her next tub upgrade :)

I really need to take better pictures of this girl!

The weather has been amazing this weekend! Little Kallari has had her first outside experience! Kept close by me of course, don't want to lose her to anything!

The bright backdrop in the natural light really makes her color and sheen pop.

I really love how you can see colors reflecting on her! Seems natural light really brings out her vibrance! We had a lovely photoshoot with her so more photos to follow later :)
