New red factor fire stripe & others

These are from Stephen Wagner.
2011 gold dust stripe, he was shedding in the shipping container:

Fire het RF stripe:

and the crown jewel of this shipment, red factor fire stripe:

He should make a good progression thread snake. Here's his papa (Steve's photo). Steve predicts these babies will be even redder with the RF gene, though I hardly see how that's possible:

Those are nice looking red critters!

That gold dust stripe is really pretty too! So bright!

A few more:

Quite lovely snakes Chip! All of them.

Wow- nice! Well, you can guess which one is MY favorite! The fire stripe!!

10 month progression update. He shed today so I snapped a pic:


He's my smallest 2012 by a margin, but he's coming right along at his own pace. And I guess I should have picked a different color water bowl.

He's looking great!

Updated pic. He's not as red as I'd hoped, but IS as orange as as they get. Great eater and growing like a weed now, but he doesn't care for people.

Well, Stephen and I looked at photographs and discussed it, and both came to the conclusion that the male fire stripe was not homozygous for red factor. He didn't have a male last year, but did have a nice female which he sent as a replacement.

I know I took a lot of photos, but this not very good one is the only one I can find:


I've had her a year now, so I took her out for some photos tonight:




I feel certain this girl is homo red factor/mask/cayenne/whatever. She's as red as I've seen (the camera flash washes out everything), and is very human friendly. I am very happy with her, and the project she is for will continue in a couple more years.

Very bright! I like her a lot.
