Profile: Bixbite

This week Living Gems Reptiles profiles another of its juveniles, Bixbite. Bixbite is an August 2009 female who comes from a long line of red snakes. She is named both for a gem (as with all our females) and for her tendency to take random nips whenever she feels her immediate interests have been thwarted (she is the one and only Living Gems snake to have kept this habit since babyhood). She is entering her final year of color development. As of December 2010, she weighed 366 grams.

Here she is in a sequence of four shots:

Inside Side, No Flash


Inside Side, Flash


Inside Top, No Flash


Inside Top, Flash


(Her outside pictures came out poorly.)

Bixbite is a tough call. She is one of three females in our “possible cut” pool, and I can see her color development going either way. We will be watching her closely as the year develops to see how her final color plays out.

Thank you for looking,

Re: Profile: Bixbite

She beautiful and has such a unique faded color. Almost a reduce color. Would be real cool to see her color in a couple years.
