Since last week was the first since september with temps above 20 celsius here in the Netherlands I took Mimara out for her first outside exploration ever :) enjoy!

Enjoying the sun on my Wife's hand

I really like how the sun enhances those veins in her eyes

As far as I know shes a Morelia spilota 'ssp' x harrisoni cross, with the sire being a very clear harrisoni, but the genetics of the dame are entire unknown (I saw her, she was about 5ft long and had very nice and bright yellows, so I am leaning towards a smallish Jungle). If anyone can say more about her according to these pics feel free to speak your mind :)

I'll try to take some more full body shots when the weathers gets better again around here (Dutch summers are notorious for going from crazy hot to cold and rainy within a day...). I was focusing to much on those gorgeous eyes and completely forgot to take any other nice pictures :)

We had some nice weather again today and Mimara shed yesterday, so a perfect opportunity for pics arose ;). I've done some looking & reading, especially after Shauns comment, and I'm fairly certain now she's a Darwin x Jungle cross. The Darwin part I know for sure, and the Darwin X Jungles I've seen online also have this sudden change of pattern from dorsal to ventral. Anyway, enjoy these 2 pics of my wife handling her :)
