Profile: Sodalite

[Snakesitter]

This week Living Gems Reptiles profiles one of its baby animals, Sodalite. Sodalite is a September 2010 female. She was acquired because of her high potential for deep red color. As of March 2011, she weighed 69 grams.

Here she is in a sequence of three shots under different lighting, all taken from the top in March 2011:

Her color is a bit obscured in these shots by a surprising amount of reflected light and iridescence, and it has picked up considerably since then. She’s looking like she could turn into a smoker!

Thank you for reading,

Looks amazing, cant wait to see pics of her where she isn't grey!

Wow! That is IMO one of the best looking Rainbows you have. Her color is eye popping beautiful. I really like her head marking it's very define. She looks like a true Trophy Rainbow to me.

LOL Stephan, I did have horrible luck with light that day, didn't I? Didn't notice until later though, too bad....

Marvel, she's pretty, but I'd hesitate to say she's ahead of the rest of 2010s. I had a strong recruiting year...a problem I hope to have again this year! ;-)

Thanks for commenting,

Very nice snakesitter, but i do like the outside photos. Yet another cracking specimen

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I'm happy to say that in addition to coloring up, she has also gotten much less fearful of handling. Another one from that year still plays "ball python" every time I touch her....sigh..... ;-)
