Green And Gold.
Well, the weather was finally nice enough, and I had the time, and this was the result. The sun was directly overhead.
I took Wallace out for an I-Phone X SMax photo shoot. I was solo so I was not able to use the pro style camera.
These came out OK, and I decided to deviate from the traditional deck rail pictures. Let me add that he is in the early stages of shed here so these colors are still not his best. However he looks pretty slick here.
He didn't really want to leave my leg, and he kept coming back to me after I set him completely in the grass.
This is a really nice shot of his length. I tried to get his length off the measuring APP on my phone, but the one time he decided to explore and not come back to me, was when I was messing with the APP. Sorry, I still have no idea how long he is, well say 8.5' to 9'.
The contrast with the green grass makes his colors pop even in a pre-shed state. I still find the Tiger pattern on retics my favorite of all snakes.
He's 11 days away from being 3 years old, he's filled out, lean, extremely strong and in excellent shape. He's really pretty decent despite some of the retic quirks he has.
I know a few people that have had tough times with this species. I'm pretty lucky and thankful I've had a fairly easy ride.
He's a keeper!
Wallace: Spring 2019!

Wow, what a stunning retic! That rainbow sheen on his scales looks just amazing. His colours and the contrast of his patterns are so beautiful too (can't believe he's nearing shed!). He looks very healthy and well cared for

He's in the very early stages of shed, but I can see it coming a mile away. The head shot is a bit more telling than the body shots.
Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks,
Picture 1 and 3 seem very over exposed. I'm not sure how that happened as I think the originals looked better before I uploaded them.
It was the best I could do for the day.

Wow, I can’t believe he’s almost 3 years old already! He looks great. Glad he is a keeper for ya.
Love that pic on his length, I just kept scrolling and scrolling......
I never could get consistent measurements from my IPhone app, glad it’s working for you.
Best
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
