Fresh Pics

[toddnbecka]

I had one of my 2 year old female DRMB's out for a bit tonight. She chilled on my hand for some time after I snapped a few pics, until my hand got tired from holding her up. She's showing some great colors now, about as bright as the other pair of 2 year olds from a different line/source. Looking forward to seeing them all at full adult size in a few more years or so.




Not sure what the spot on her head is. Reflects the light a bit oddly, but when zoomed in really close doesn't appear to be a rub or missing scales.


Oddly enough, both the females are happily chowing down fuzzy mice, while the males insist on quail, though the male of the other pair will also take rat pinks. The larger sub-adults (4'+) are all taking fresh killed mice or f/t fuzzy rats if the mice are low, may have to start using f/t quail to scent mice for the younger males when the supply starts getting low.

For reference, here's a pic of the same female when she arrived a year ago. They do show different colors between day and night, and apparently depending on other factors as well, but they are becomng brighter red as they grow:
