Feeding pics...

[Ryan and Katie]

We were doing a few feedings tonight and finally got a couple pics of our female diamond turning a nice pink. The pics don't come out near as pink as it is in person.
They sure love to eat...:D

Thanks!! It's quite a sight when all the white scales on her neck and lower jaw go almost red from the hemorrhage... It was kinda spooky the first time we saw it. It's like she's blushing. :o

I remember the first time we saw that redish color come in during feeding - we had not read about it, and were kind of concerned about it. Seems the longer they go between meals, the harder they strike and constrict, and the redder they get.

She's looking very nice, I will have to get some updated pictures of our female when she comes out of cooling.

hey guys im colour blind so maybe thats not helping, but where is this red your talking about and why does it happen?

Thanks

Are you sure its not red because its about to shed?

[Ryan and Katie]

Chris- Thanks! You'll have to stop by and check them out in person. Fire us an e-mail...

Ryan- We were lucky and knew beforehand but was trippy to see in person. Can't wait to see some new pics of your girl..

samurai & Brad- She just shed a couple weeks ago. The red is on the lower jaw and neck and is caused from the blood rushing to the skin during constriction. Tough little snakes! :D
