Photos are always good after a clean shed goes down.
Wallace cycled through his 2nd shed since his arrival here. I decided to delay his feeding day until he completed the process. I may snap an additional round while he eats today depending on how much time I have.
These turned out OK but I prefer outdoor shots and those will have to wait until spring.
He enjoys climbing which is a trait/behavior that I favor in the snakes we have here.
I always wanted a retic with the pumpkin, orange eyes, but I have grown to like these peepers.
This is the other side of his face. I always seem to take my pictures from the same side so I did some maneuvering and caught the opposite side. He doesn't have a "good side" and is rather handsome from both sides!
A lot of these are similar but I enjoy posting pictures so I loaded them all.
This fella has a bit of a "genetic package" although nothing special. He is SD X Dwarf, Tiger and is Het Snow, Purple Albino and Anery. I suspect his eyes and a lot of his greens come from the SD part of the equation.
As Reptileexperts has posted in the past that this is an "advanced" species and I agree. There are some things you need to learn rather quickly and practices to put in place before they get large. Understanding their movements is key. Somebody in this forum mentioned keeping in physical contact with the snake while it is out for handling. I am finding this to be helpful at least in my situation. Wallace is very good "in hand" but if I set him down for a bit, I find it safer to reintroduce myself with a little tap or rub before I pick him up again. His shed was 4 feet long today so I suspect he is still about 3 feet long.
The TIGER pattern is still tops for me.
Just look at the colors and pattern. Morphish?? I guess, but he would easily survive in his natural habitat which is something I like.
