Profile: Almandine

[Snakesitter]

This week Living Gems Reptiles profiles one of its adult animals, Almandine. Almandine is a July 2008 female who comes from a strong red line -- though she’s clearly decided that intense orange is the better way to go. She is a well-mannered snake who never seems to mind handling. As of March 2011, she weighed 1741 grams.

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

Inside, No Flash


Inside, Flash


Outside


The middle shot in this set seems closest to her true colors -- the first one washed out for some reason, and the third one was taken from too low on the side (though the color is there is you look at her top).

Almandine should be one of our 2012 breeders.
