Sterling headshot

Here is a headshot of one of my favorites;)

The eyes and head pattern/color make this morph pop. Her eyes are DARK!

Thanks...she is just big boned...lol
Off the top of my head, she is over 1000 grams but under 1250. She went through a spell where she wasn't eating a thing and then...bam! She got chunky quick. A stout one she is.

Thanks for the kind words all;)

I couldn't agree more. This is one of those morphs that you have to hold to get the full picture. There is soooo much going on that it is tough to capture in a photo.

I get to work on a close up of the scales....a lot going on there.

Awesome pics!!!

Killer sterling Joe! She's a beauty!

She shines as if she was actually made of sterling silver. She is one beautiful ball :gj:

Some detail shots...
There is a "band of distortion" here if you look closely....the snake gets lighter from right to left....there is a vertical line almost in the middle of the image. It is something similar to what I see in many of the pewters that I produce but it is much fainter on a sterling....tough to photograph.

A nice gray head with bald spots and stray flecks of color....

Vanishing pattern...

She has more pattern towards the neck (on the right of the image) and it disappears as you move towards the tail.

Very little pattern but cool colors....
