It was a dark and stormy night... My new girl.

[Ax01]

Edit: #1000 post celebration and new BP!!

ok, i teased all of u yesterday with a preview of this lil girl and ok, i thought that i got my last BP of the year late last month. well, that turned out to be untrue. i got the 3 on my list that i wanted for sure – Albino, Pied and Orange Dream. (not in that order.) and then i got more. i did believe that i could hold out between Thanksgiving and the New Year. but imma full-blown addict lol.

so when i saw this baby, i knew i had to have her. she’s an early Christmas present from me to me! she’s a unicorn but really she’s a high-paradox Mojave x Butter BEL. her baby pictures are here on the forum from CD Constrictors. one of her baby pix is in the BPOM gallery. she’s darken up some and doesn’t have the pronounced two-face anymore. but here she is – the lil cutie a year later.

(these photos were taken this morning before work with my phone do not do her justice at all. she’s stunning in person. her paradoxing is a rich brown color with gold patterning and highlights. she’s gold, not yellow and her brown has an irredecense. and my phone camera cannot get her eyes right. anyway it was still very cloudy and i had to turn on the lights to get these photos. i will need to get a light box and better camera for sure.)

anyway this is my Elphaba 2.0. i named this little beauty Rain.





(lol why does my arm and hand look so big?)

other notes: Rain is small. she’s under 300grams. See:



also i’m treating her for mites. :/

she had a few nicks. (i know her previous owner fed live rats.)

here’s a scratch:



u can’t see it in this photo, the a couple scales here looks creased? i don’t know how to describe it:



and she has 1 damaged scale:



anyway imma love her so much. i will take the best care of Rain and she will be bigger and better after some good meals and sheds.

Ax Congrats on your new girl rain! she's a beauty, never seen a pied pattern like that before. Definitely unique! OOO and congrats on your 1000th post!!

Thats no pied thats a bel with a crazy amount of paradoxing.... Congrats on the find cant wait to see her with some size

[Mstuppiello921]

MPC,

I gotta pick your brain on this one. I thought pied meant any pattern involving the absence of pigment, hanse the white. What is Paradox?? School me cause I love this look!
