The Beast, '07 BP and Flame, '07 Cornsnake Picture Thread

[patm1313]

Here's my BP, named "The Beast". He's an '07 Normal weighing in at a light 312 grams. He's my first BP, but I also own a corn snake.

I'm going to be building a light tent soon so when I do that I will try to get some better pictures.

Here's some pics of my other guy, an amelanistic cornsnake named Flame:

Here's some more pictures I got from his first feeding (on live mice) with me.

Note: He does have retained eye caps, and these pics were taken before he was soaked to get the retained shed skin off of his head.

The Kill:


Now, the easy part:


No, go back! You're not supposed to eat the mouse from the end, you silly little snake!


Ahhh, much better!



I could have sworn there was a mouse there a few seconds ago...


And here's a picture from today, showing the removed shed skin. He still has retained eye caps, but with some luck he'll get them off in his next shed. If not, It's a trip to the herpetologist.

Back by popular demand, Flame, the sexy little amel corn! (By the way, this guy is not photogenic at all. He's not too content to ball up like the BP does, )



And, me! (Well, sort of...)

Here are their enclosures. The BP is in a ten gallon situated on my desk. He's always looking at me while I'm on BP.net, for some reason. To the right of the BP is a tank that I keep mice in. They are separated by a piece of paper so that the BP isn't tantalized by the mice. On both tanks, there is a light just for lighting, which I run on a 12 on/12 off schedule.

BP tank:


Flame's tank, a 20 gal long with UTH and rheostat, two things that I need to get for the BP's tank as well.

Here's the heavyweight, weighing in at 324 grams!


And in this corner, weighing in at 66 grams, the amazing...
FLAME!



Get off! You're meant to constrict mice, not camera straps!

And here's a picture of Flame:

Haha, got you there...

[patm1313]

Hey! Get off my keyboard! I need that thing to post pictures of you and Flame on BP.net...

From here on in I'm going to include a picture in every one of my posts. It should add up to a lot in the end.

Stop being shy... Flame's taking the spotlight, you know. You better strike a better pose than curling up in a ball if you want to be in the limelight!

So, I got the light tent done. It's made out of a box, a light, and some posterboard.

It works wonderfully, and folds up to make it easy to store and transport.

Sadly, neither the BP or flame were content enough to sit in it and be photographed. So I had to take some pics of inanimate objects instead.

The box:
