Weather wasn't great (clouded) but the temperature was very high so decided to take Zuko outside, in an attempt to capture his real colors :D So basically mission impossible, anyone who has ever seen a purple in the flesh will know. I expect he is going to be a true giant, if everything checks out he has absolutely no dwarf in him. He's +/- 1 year old, and an estimated 6 feet eating XXL rats and small rabbits. Xena (My 'mainland mix' tiger het albino retic female) was around 3 feet at that age (She's around 9 feet now at 3 years old, eating adult rabbits, doubt she'll get over 16 feet, but wouldn't mind if she did!)
In hindsight, i should have taken all the pictures on my backyard lawn like the first 2 pictures.. My own grass is much greener than the playfield next to my house :D

I love purple's, and Zuko is sooo beautiful! <3 Great pics too!
It's really a shame that there aren't any super dwarf purple albinos... :D

The giant snakes aren't my thing, but those purple retics almost make me change my mind. And yours is a beauty.

Purples and normals are my absolute favorite retic morphs. Wish they came in kingsnake sizes :P Hope to see more of Zuko; he's gorgeous!

Thanks Clark, Babies won't be here for a couple of years at least, Xena is only 3 and i never breed retic females before the age of 6. :p

Tsk. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Why don't you hand him over to me. It'll save you a couple of bucks a week on rats, but I'd just be grateful that I wouldn't have to look at that monstrosity every day. ;)
Jokes aside, absolutely gorgeous shots of a handsome retic. Overcast days work out quite well. I always prefer diffused natural light over direct sunlight. Well done!
