Ellipsis Pics

[Insane]

Thought I'd share some pics I took of my Lesser BP, Ellipsis, that I took over the holidays :) I used my Nikon D90 and my sister's Macro lense for most of these shots. Most are of her eating since my sister was fascinated with the process :P









Purchased from BHBreptiles. Did find a couple ticks on her, treated her for mites and might have found a couple bodies after. I've never had to deal with them before though, so I'm not entirely sure. I'm assuming since he's a big time breeder, things like this is kind of unavoidable? She seems healthy either way and has eaten a hopper every 5 days without fail :)

You were the one who got her!!! Now I know who to hate. jk I went down there before the holidays and wanted her, but didn't have the extra cash at the time. I went down there on Monday hoping to pick her up, but as you know she was gone. Oh well at least she got a good home, and Brian had another one that I really liked. Great pickup.

She's a beautiful lesser I'm loving those flames. Great pics also.

Gorgeous lesser! Do you have any breeding plans?

I can't imagine ticks and mites being "unavoidable". Good example of why it is important to quarantine new animals.

Lol! Well to be honest, I wasn't in the market for another BP after I sold my pinstripe, but my friend kept tempting me with pictures and when he sent me a picture of this girl, I wanted to strangle him! Then I ended up begging him to let me use his address to ship her to xD My hands were shaking so bad when I was filling out the info and I was a mess until she was finally delivered! Small world though I'm jealous that you can actually go and see them in person, I would love to get a glance at a large breeder's collection. Guess I'll just have to settle for the Arlington NARBC in Feb. I'm glad you found something you wanted! <333

Thank you n_n This was exactly the type of coloring I'd been looking for ever since I found out about BP morphs <333

I have a friend who has a male spider, so if he's still around I'll probably ask him to let me breed her to him and make Lesser Bees (no guarantee since we're in the military) but I'm also anxious to make a Kingpin. My ultimate goal is a Lesser Clown.. freakin' gorgeous.

I haven't found any on her since, so hopefully I wont have this issue. Definitely not something I wanted to go through, but I'll definitely be quarantining any other animals I get in the future.

Ticks on a CB animal are you sure? Have you spoken to Brian about this?

Thanks These were done in horrible light though, hopefully once it warms up I can get some decent pictures of her with natural light

I love that first shot! Gorgeous snake!

Thanks <333

I'm not entirely sure, I just noticed a black speck on her stomach. I knocked that one off and lost it, but the second one I managed to catch on a white piece of paper. It was firm and round and didn't hop away, but I did see it's legs kicking. I'm assuming it was tick. I also noticed she had some upturned scales, not sure if this was normal? I didn't look anymore into it because she seemed pretty healthy and I thought the scales might have been bent during the delivery since she was on the road 5 extra hours due to a hold over.

I didn't contact Brian, I figured this was probably a common thing with big time breeders and after looking her over I only found two "ticks" and one possible mite body after soaking her in water and none after treating her with the mite spray. I guess I should have looked more into this. It was over a month ago, do you think I should still get in contact with him about it?
