Aw yiss. Cake shed this week! And he ate a mouse 2 days ago, and I took him out today. I also bought a new DSLR in addition to my old one... Nikon d7000! I used an old-school Canon before for about 14 years. It is time for an update to this portrait-specializing lens and body.
His colors are SO vibrant and such contrast in real life after shedding. These photos honestly do him no justice.
Check out dat baccckkkkk.
I also thought it would be a neat idea to take a picture of myself WITH Cake around my neck every 2 months until he reaches adult size to record his growth, instead of just using a weight scale! Then the record is visibly clear on how large he is getting relative to me, and not just by his onesie self in a lonely photo.
So... aw yiss, first photo of tiny Cake barely around my neck.
