Progression thread for our first Brazilian.

[Charis]

The first of our WRE 2012 pickups. Got the best pictures of her of them all tonight. It's a female, about 2 1/2 to 3 months old. She is currently without a name.

She's cool, and has great contrast!

Good luck with her and keep the pictures coming!

[millertime89]

great contrast and as always awesome iridescence!

[MoreliAddict]

Congrats! That's a pretty brb.

[Charis]

Thanks! Hoping she colors up good.

[Snakesitter]

Congrats, Charis! She has great contrast and a nice healthy sheen to her. It's easy to forget how tiny they are at first.....

[h3h]

Envy courses through my veins, rainbows are always a winner.

[CK SandBoas]

She is a little beauty!! And it's so hard to picture my BRB being that small at one time:D

[Charis]

She was out and about exploring last night and despite the terrible lighting and the glass, my husband was able to get a few decent pictures.

I think those came out pretty good, look at all the bounce back in them. Pretty good shots.

[Snakesitter]

Great shots under those conditions! She's totally got the "deer in headlights" expression. ;-)

[Charis]

This is one of my favorite pictures of her! Just after taking a drink.

This one was just before drinking.

[Charis]

She just ate for the first time for us today! That first time is always such a relief!

[rmfsnakes32]

She sure is pretty!

[CK SandBoas]

She just ate for the first time for us today! That first time is always such a relief!

Congrats!!! I love it when a new snake takes their first meal with me :D

[h3h]

The reflection picture is pretty nice.

- h3

[Snakesitter]

Congrats! That means she's settling in well. Well done!

[Charis]

We finally settled on a name for this girl! Took a little while but it was probably inevitable. Named her Zoë. And yes, any possible future mate down the road will have to be named Wash.

[Snakesitter]

Good choice! Any updated pictures?

[Charis]

Not yet. Need to take some new ones. She shed a few days ago.

You are my hero. And Zoë is quite the pretty little girl :D

[Charis]

We have a 1.1 pair of Mandarin Ratsnakes named Inara and Malcolm and my female Thai Bamboo Ratsnake is named Serenity, though her future mate is not named in that theme.

[Snakesitter]

Great -- looking forward to the new shots! :-)

[Charis]

Here are some pictures we took last night.

[Snakesitter]

Awww cute! You even caught some of her iridescence. Looks like she was behaving herself on the stick very well!

[Charis]

Fairly decently, she was moving faster than was helpful for taking pictures but we did get some decent ones so can't complain.

[Snakesitter]

They tend to do that. ;-) Cameras, for some reason, are not very high on the list of snake Priorities. (Except as funky climbing branches.)

[Strutter769]

Zoe I see has some blushing in her dorsal spots...and some really nice white sides... my favorite aspect of the beauty of the BRB. She's really nice.

[Charis]

Thank you! We picked her over her brother because of the blushing and major white sides. Unfortunately the brother was very blue when we went to look at them. Made the choice very hard, trying to be fair as to which looked the best. But she had a lot more white and we liked that the best. They were both very sweet tempered.

[AjaMichelle]

So pretty! And I love the Firefly names! :)

[Snakesitter]

Comparing two snakes when one is in shed is indeed a tough call. Looks like you picked a winner either way though. :-)

[Charis]

Again despite the terrible lighting, my husband was able to get some quite good pictures of Zoë enjoying her hammock tonight.

Then the last one he got and my favorite ...

[marvelfreak]

Such a cute little girl.

[Snakesitter]

Very cute, Charis! Makes me want a hammock....

[millertime89]

Love the hammock, before you know it she'll be too big for that hammock to support.
