Li was playing Peek-A-Boo this morning!

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...9bfeae764e.jpg li ate a mouse adult last night. **sniff sniff** her first one! I'm so proud!

Seriously I was getting worried!

Awww she looks so cute! I'm glad she ate for you! Thanks for the pics :D

Thank you! And yes she's adorkable! I was surprised at how fast she gobbled mr mousy down. The kids were worried she was going to choke.

Cleaned out Livia's tank, discovered her looking dusty, hazy eyed and really not happy. Fascinating!

Oh and weighed her. Obviously.

She is so adorable [emoji4] but I do have to ask how big is the hole she was sticking her head out of? I just don't want the same thing that happened to me happen to you, i had a hide for my first snake that had a hole at the top and as he grew he got too big to go through it and got stuck..badly stuck. I had to break the hide off of him to get him out and he still has the scar from it. So just keep that in mind when she starts getting chunky.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...5b30d68f53.jpg there it is with pen for comparison. Atm she crawls all over it, but that's very good to know. I will keep that in mind as she gets bigger. Thank you.

Your welcome, [emoji4] I just never knew they could get stuck in stuff because you would think they would know how big they are but they don't lol.

My hubs says they aren't too big on the intelligence lol!



My son was looking up pieds and pied 'markers' on het for pieds and insists that Li is het for pied because she has what he calls 'train tracks'. I'm not convinced; http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...9c0f1ca88b.jpg
She decided she was done with pics for the day.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...4237f995c1.jpg livia shed, partially, there's more still attached. I noticed this bit has pigment on it.

She's not happy I disturbed her to gank the skin, >.> pictures forthcoming. Once she's not trying to nip me.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...0b70c1290a.jpg post shed. Livia's brighter!

Looking good! :gj:

She has such a nice pattern, such a pretty girl [emoji4]

Thank you. She is very pretty. The pic doesn't do her justice. I need to make one of those light tent thingys so I can get some better pics of them.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...51c9a41e18.jpg i'm on the computer, holding Li. She seems fascinated.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...eb45e9ba0e.jpg
Now Livia is my nano mascot. Li is shedding and digesting her last mouse.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...e3a0dec835.jpg li found a new hang out spot. Can a snake be a ham? :p Sorry about the crappy cell phone pic.

Thanks for introducing me to Boas and perching on my head. I'll miss your lil mustache. **salutes**

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...fe5513e46d.jpg Livia .2

We discovered that the snake we WERE calling Livia, was actually an Andreas. So we decided that the het Caramel Albino would inherit the name. She just shed and is GORGEOUS!

Sid. Blade ph Clown. In the spring we're going to look for a girlfriend for him. Coolest.BP.EVAH! I love the blade morph.

Rip Santiago. Any news from necropsy? My boa girl who is almost 7 months does the head perch thing too. I call it my Medusa look lol

Sid FINALLY ate late last night. I was on the verge of seeking some advice when he nailed ms mousy. We got him in nov, and he's acted uninterested in food.

If he keeps this up, I'll go forward with my plans on acquiring a girlfriend for him.

Ok, tonight Andreas (who WAS Livia XD) is chillin with me. I try to handle the snakes frequently. Anyways, got some Iphone pics of him. He shed about four or five days ago.

He's 'just' a normal but he's a beautiful snake. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...548be1e5f3.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...c8c7588f0f.jpg

Pos pied markers? Or hopeful thinking on my part?

Trying something new. Glued some foam to the outside of the tank I'm setting up for daughter's lil Alabast. If paper helps maintain heat & stuff, i would think foam will work better.

Not sure what Jenova was looking at. These snakes make me want to get a nice camera so I can do them justice.

Before you buy a nice camera, look at getting/building a light kit. You'll want a light kit with a nice camera and a light kit will help any camera. A light kit is much cheaper than a nice camera (which gets more expensive as you buy more lenses for it, I just paid $519 for my newest lens last night) I bought my Canon Rebel used from a friend for $170 and bought a really nice Canon lens (50mm f1.4) used for $250. That's $939 so far, and that's not all that much for a nice camera.

You could follow this thread to build your own light kit
http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ght-tent-(DUW)

Or buy one for as little as $40 or as much as you want (here is a thread about the one I bought http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-New-Light-Kit).

You might also get a WhiBal card for about $20. You can then use free software to correct the light temperature of your pictures or get Photoshop Elements or Lightroom (programs you'll eventually want if you get a nice camera). Here is a thread on light temperature and pictures http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...e-and-Pictures.

Don't let me talk you out of getting a nice camera, they are lots of fun, just thought I would let you know about some of the cheaper accessories that you will want with a nice camera and that can help any camera take better pictures. Hope this post helps you get some great pictures and saves you some money.

Thank you! I've actually made a sorta rickety light tent, haven't used it yet. I have photoshop already, I do digi art & have been playing with ebook covers. It would be a while before i get a camera.

No problem. I did a quick comparison this morning. All pictures on the left were taken under my light kit with my Samsung S5 in auto mode with the flash turned off and all pictures on the right were taken under the same light conditions with my Canon Rebel XT and the Canon 50 mm f1.4 lens with the Rebel set to an ISO of 100, shutter speed of 1/160 sec, and an aperture of f4 and in RAW format. The top right was a little over exposed, so I corrected the exposure with a -1 when opening it in Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. The top pictures are of a male 2012 Jigsaw Blast, the middle pictures are of 2 female 2014 Pastel Mystic Enchis and the bottom pictures are of a male 2014 Pastel GHI.

With good lighting and the right white balance, you should be able to get some good pictures with your iPhone.
