Dreaming of summer...

Organizing some pics, haven't posted in a while. Here's one our very-all-time-favorites, TBC I Am Legend. Can't wait for this kind of weather again...I love green grass for photographing red snakes!

Im running out of adjectives to compliment your bloods. Outstanding!

LOL, thanks Lon! I'm running out of names to call Suckerpunch whenever she bites me (well, tries). Uppity little wench. ;)

Beautiful!!!! Do you use hooks for taking out your feisty ones? I'm on my 8th blood and she's a handful. :P

I mostly use hooks for turning off a snake's feeding response. With uppity bloods, I find it easier to just scoop them up from underneath in one smooth motion, and then keep the snake facing away from me. If the animal starts to turn, I turn in the same direction it does, keeping its face pointing away. Usually this keeps the snake distracted enough for me to do whatever I need to get done in handling the animal (i.e. transferring to a holding tub for maintenance, etc).

I'll use the same method for brief but more frequent interaction with a snake that needs a little extra attention in terms of settling down/getting used to handling. They don't need to be held for hours on end in order to tame down...just handled frequently & correctly so they can learn good habits. :)

Wow those snakes look amazing! The green background really makes them pop in the pics.

Thanks! Taking outdoor pics on an overcast day really seems to show off their true colors best. It can't be super cloudy & dark, but when you get that ideal balance of good cloud cover & still well-lit, it really works out well. Now if spring would just get here so I could take good pics of the rest of our critters!

Wowzers....all three of them are gorgeous, but "I am Legend" is just sick!! :D

Miss you, girl!!

Thank you sweetness! Ryan hatched Legend 3 years ago, and he's probably the reddest, most vibrant animal in our collection at this time. We're REALLY hoping his first year on our breeding roster turns out to be a successful one. :) He's really a dream snake, super docile, fun to handle, and makes our eyes pop every time we look at him...hard to ask for more than that!

I miss you too! :hug: Hope you have a lovely New Year!

Kara I always love to see pic's of your bloods, but all it does is make me want to get a few more from you. :D

Wow amazing!

Yeah, all 3 of those are super nice,but Legend is well........legendary.
Nice stuff Kara.

Wouldn't expect anything else from your bloodlines, Kevin. He's surpassing even our greatest hopes for his potential...now to see what his kiddos will look like! ;)

Those are some drop-dead gorgeous bloods! <3

Kara I have always been blown away by your collection of bloods. I haven't seen anyone out there with bloods as red as yours. I think you are going to be the next person I buy a blood from. :disbelief
