Profile: Onyx

[Snakesitter]

This week Living Gems Reptiles profiles one of its adult animals, Onyx. Onyx is a May 2008 female. She has a nice, vibrant orange color; an amazingly consistent pattern of crescent side markings; and is half-sister to Agate. As of March 2011, Onyx weighed 1345 grams.

Here she is in a sequence of three shots under different lighting, all taken in February 2011:

I like the second pic best. Really shows her size and coloring so well. It's a rainbow, right?

Yep! Cliff breeds Brazilian Rainbows.

:Wow: :Wow: :Wow:

Simply stunning!! I don't know anything about BRBs (other than discussion I've caught from this forum) but in my inexperienced opinion, I would say that is an outstanding specimen! I've only ever seen one in person, and it wasn't nearly that vibrant, love the richness of Onyx' color!:)

Wow! Her rainbow scales are gorgeous and it goes great with her coloration and patterns! What a beautiful snake! :3

OK...I'm going to cheat and answer everyone in one post to avoid endless comments from one person. ;-)

I agree Marvel, especially in that center pict! :)

She is indeed, marionsclan...and that is my fav of the three picts, too.

Why *thank* you, Kat! She is definitely a high-end specimen, and while no Topaz or Promotheus, represents the quality level I aspire to for all 24 of my (eventual) breeders.

Thank you, annarawrr! She is a great snake and had a wonderful photo day that way...it does not always work out so well!

Thank you all again for stopping by to comment, you are the best!
