Amazing color differences in normals!
I put my four big girls together and had to take a picture of how different each one of them looks. None were in shed so it was a perfect picture time! I will be attempting to breed all of these girls this season!
Robin-the really light yellowish one second from the top is the girl from you, and the really brown one on the bottom right is her sister. At first I thought I was crazy, I swore she was getting lighter every time she shed, now I'm sure! It's crazy that she used to be the same color!

I'm hoping to! The lighter one is at 1,400 and the darker one is at 1,350 grams. I'm not starting my breeding season till sometime in December, maybe late December, that way everyone has more time to put on weight.

I'd love to but my smallest normal right now is 2000 grams and my bigger girls are 2800 and 3100 grams :D
I can't imagine throwing my monster girls together, might be a CAT FIGHT :rofl:
It is amazing how different the normals can be.

Re: Amazing color differences in normals!
Having big girls is awesome :)
I love my little snakes, since most of them came from my big snakes :P

Re: Amazing color differences in normals!
Shoot you are fine. Big Girls love smaller men and all yours are way past the minimum required. The only thing you dont want to do is throw to boys in with a girl, then it might be a fight.

Incredible colour differences in your snakes, now you just have to find the right male for each one of them...

I know!!! I can't decide, so all but one of the girls will get multiple males. I haven't got it all quite figured out, and I also need to make sure they all get to 1,500 first. But.... I'm thinking the really light yellowish one will get my spider and pastel. Either would be great for her because my spider is really bright. The other two girls will get all three boys, pastel, spider, and mojo. And the one on the bottom left will get only the mojo.

That girl is amazingly light!!! I agree, there is nothing normal about normals! I don't think any of mine look the same. Even the sisters I have don't look anything alike!
(I like comparison shots because the lighting doesn't really factor in, thank you!)

I love lighter normals!! I'll have to post some pictures of mine later tonight!!

You know, I'd never thought of getting a picture of my normals together... good idea! I just took some comparison shots of my big girls, Mona & Nerissa, and the difference is startling. :O

Check out the difference in their heads... and Mona looks like she's saying "Get the heck outta my tub!" :D

Nerissa looks very familiar. How's she doing?

She should look familiar to you, LOL. ;) She's doing great, aside from the feeding stubbornness... went a whole NINE months with nothing, then I got some frozen ASFs to snap her out of it. She went on to eat regular rats for a while, but went back on fast about 3-4 weeks ago. Oy! :rolleyes:

ASFs can be a miracle when a BP goes off feed. My Rayanne would eat a rat every 2-4 months as she wasted away. It was just enough that I didn't resort to force-feeding. Eventually I found she'll eat medium-sized dark-colored ASFs like candy, and she's bouncing back wonderfully.
How's Nerissa's weight (she was at 1970g in Oct 2009 if my records are correct), and have you dropped temps for the season? I'm wondering if she just started a normal winter fast. Some of mine are starting to fast for the winter, but I may be further north than you are.
My records indicate Narissa ate only rats here, so the ASFs probably blew her mind having only smelled them from a distance before, assuming an animal's native food tastes better than the foreign Norwegian rats we generally feed them.

Yes, those things are magic - she went NUTS over them!! :gj: Unfortunately they're illegal here in California, and I just lucked out on finding a bag of frozen while on vacation (in San Diego). Hopefully she doesn't imprint on them, or I'm really going to be screwed.

Where I live, the temperature is pretty constant year-round... rarely drops below 50 or goes above 65-70. I absolutely love it, but the snakes might be a little confused! I don't manually drop the temperatures, and it's actually been warmer than usual this past month. She's probably ready for some lovin' anyway, so I'll start introducing the boys soon - my black pastel & regular pastel are both anxious to meet her. ;)
I haven't weighed Nerissa in a while, but she was 1850g in July, and her lowest recorded weight (in May) was around 1690. She was looking pretty thin for a while, but as you can see above she's a healthy size right now. Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread Slitherin! I'll post some comparisons of my other normals a bit later...
