Dan's cold blooded photos [emoji216][emoji1656][emoji226]

I've been thinking about doing this for a while. Unfortunately life has set me back a little bit... But I'm back up and going and want to share with you all.

This thread will be for posting pictures of many of my scaly friends but also open to questions and chit chat along the way.

Going to try for a pic a day but we will see how that goes. Lol

Current herps:
1 ATB
13 BP
1 crested gecko
2 leopard geckos

Also several fish that I may sneak in from time to time.

Fish:
1 Betta tank
1 nano community tank
1 African mbuna tank
1 South American cichlid tank
1 goldfish tank

Now the first pics!
Ruby my star




And a couple of Ball pythons.

Spaghetti a banana black pastel Mojave male.


And Bambi
My bamboo female.



Many more to come but for now I hope you all enjoyed!

They all look amazing! Congrats and that atb could pass for purple! How’s the disposition on that reptile? We want to hear it all. Lol. Thanks

First thing to remember is never get your face too close to the enclosure lol

Honestly she isn't all that bad now but she definitely has her days that she has nothing to do with me. Most of the time I can reach in from underneath her and rub at her a little bit and get her to move on to my hand without biting me. I can usually hold her and work with her for 10 to 15 minutes but after that she gets more defensive again. I'm hoping that as time goes on that amount of time will increase but I know she will never be like holding a ball python.
One thing I have noticed is it's all about confidence. If you approach her and treat her like she cannot hurt you most of the time she does pretty good. But if you get startled and jerk away, that handling session is pretty much over.

Thanks, she really looks amazing! I know it must be entertaining on feeding day.

My 3 more snippy snakes.

Believe it or not this pastel enchi het clown girl is my worst. She is more snippy than my ATB lol.

Her sister a firefly het clown is another ball that I have and is super defensive. She is part of an experiment for me in bioactive terrariums also. Interestingly enough ever since moving her to this more cluttered naturalistic setup she has calmed down some.
I just love her pattern.


And of course one more of my ATB Ruby

New day new pics!

Here is a nice juvenile black pastel pied female.


I can cross her with this little male to shoot for some panda pieds.
He is an albino, black pastel, mojave, het pied.


Now one of my non snakes.
This little guy is an albino but other than that I don't know. He has half eclipse eyes.



And one tank. These are a few goldfish I have.


Thank you all for looking!

It's hard to tell from the pictures but the leopard gecko looks like an albino eclipse. Sometimes eclipses have one normal eye and one eclipse eye (I have a tangerine like that). There are also pied markings on the feet and nose tip (which is a sign of eclipse).

Just one tonight.

Truly amazing collection D! Individually and collectively I’m digging all of them. Congrats and best of luck with all your projects.
