New Marius Photos (Picture Heavy, DUW)

Well, Marius finally shed this morning, so I took a few new pictures after he'd settled back down. I absolutely love this guy's attitude. He is, without a doubt, my favorite. :D Oddly enough, he didn't have the high white sides this time like he did the shed before last, so I'm guessing that was just a fluke. Wish I'd gotten pictures. Anyway, here he is.


Winter sunlight is so harsh. >.< He's a little washed out in color, but still cute.

A bit better on the coloring. He's contemplating why I've set him on the blanket.

I love his "hazel" eyes.

An excellent representation of his color. This is the closest I've ever got to his true hue.

Though he's shadowed in this one, I actually love the way it turned out. Like he's dreaming of summer. I know I am. lol!

A good shot of his trident head marking. I am beginning to believe I named him wrong, he really should have been Poseidon.

He's always patient with me, putting up with my maneuvering and whatnot.

A little washed out. He's wondering if I'm going to give him a mouse, I can see it in his posture.

An okay coloring shot.

Is this not the most adorable face ever? :D

I might be getting a BRB at the next xpo around me. I love them, and yours is absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing these pics, just got me that much more excited!

Thanks for the compliments. :) I hope your BRB will be as wonderful as my Marius is. They have some higher care requirements, but in my humble opinion, they are definitely worth it. Hope to see pictures of yours when you do get it. Best of luck!

He is just beautiful and soooooooooooo adorable!

Thank you so much for the compliments. :)

Thanks so much for the compliments on Marius, Courtney. I'm glad the pictures could bring a spot of brightness to the day. :)

Absolutely stunning! He has brilliant oranges!

My understanding is that the white sides thing is something that typically happens at different times of day (usually night), rather than as a result of a shed. Check on him at night and you'll probably see it at least some of the time.

BTW, he's beautiful. :)

Wow, absolutely gorgeous snake. I really love the trident marking, I agree, poseidon would have been a great name... or Monster, cause it kinda looks like the monster M. :P Again, great looking snake.

Thanks so much! :) Yeah, I love his oranges, and they are always brightest right after his shed.

Thank you. :) I will have to keep an eye open for the white to show up. I've checked him many times these past two sheds, but have not seen the high white since that previous previous shed. I'll watch for it though.

Yeah, I'm almost contemplating re-naming him. :D Thank you so much for the compliments!
