Deck Rail pics!!!

What started out as a "tip of the hat" to my boy Gio ended up turning into some great pics. And now I can make a series of annual Deck Rail pics with Fernie and Cornell and compare their growth each year.

I've always loved Gio's Deck Rail photos, here's me paying homage. My deck and my yard may not be as nice as Gio's, but I think my snakes are just as beautiful! [emoji12] Hahhahaha, thanks for the inspiration, Gio.

Fernie and Cornell are both just over a year old here and have both shed out recently. So without further ado:

P.S. sorry for splitting the pics up, but Tapa has been screwy (ie posting the same pic multiple times despite me choosing all different pics, making the pics green and pixelated, etc...) so I'm hoping I don't need to go back and edit...



Here's Fernie, my Bredli girl...

Last few... He REALLY wanted that tree in the last pic. He's about two years shy of reaching I'm guessing...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...516fb1b0f0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2953b8604e.jpg

Now we're cooking!

I love them. The snakes seem right at home on a deck rail. It's one of the easiest ways to photograph them.

Those two are beauties and I enjoyed seeing them on the rail.

Cool deck pics :). The carpets are looking GREAT Craig! Fernie is a bonafide show stopper and Cornell is coming along beautifully too. MM4L.

Thanks Rich! He actually seems to hate the camera, but stares right through it. Hahahhahahaha

Thanks man! I thought you'd enjoy. You're so right, the deck rail is a fantastic spot, they do seem right at home on it and the resulting pictures are great.

Thanks brother! She's absolutely fantastic. I think she's stunning, gotta give props to Casey for producing such beautiful Bredli.
As you know, something drew me to Bredli long ago. I legit couldn't be happier with her. She checks every box on my list. I can't wait for her to put a bit more size on too. I'm not done yet, and it's been less than a year, but I think it'll be tough to find a species I enjoy more.

I'm glad that Bredli are such a good fit for you brother. If my male Bredli doesn't start growing and eating rats again, like all the other critters around here, I'm gonna send him to stay with Uncle Craig! :)

He probably thinks it's a predator staring at him? :snake2:

Yeah, he used to strike at it. I try not to go straight on with him now, but sometimes he turns towards the phone anyway.

He's mellowed with it a bit, but I don't think he loves modeling

Hahahahha, he'd always be welcome here. There's always room for family :D

He's still giving you fits huh? My Borneo is still giving me fits. I guess there's one in every crowd

He does this every year but he usually snaps out of it by now. He ate scented small rats for 2 consecutive feedings but refused on his last offering. Being the loving keeper that I am, I thawed 2 jumbo mice a couple of nights later which he devoured instantly. I've got plenty of mice so I don't really care. I really want to get some size on him. He's growing the slowest of all my carpets.

I still can't find any rhyme or reason with Juice. He eats when he wants, I guess. No consistency with prey, how I offer, nothing. Something will work once or twice and then no more. I just don't get it.
He's definitely thin for a Borneo, but not to the point it's worrisome. I'd love to see him fill out though.

Great looking critters and good job with the pics!
