Freshly shed "Miami" Corn Snake!!!

I took my Miami out today after her recent shed. The weather has been so nice lately, it's been great to take some of the snakes out for photo shoots. These are my favorite 3 photos of the dozens that my brother took, and she loved every minute of being out in the sun. ENJOY!!!

She is beautiful! Looks a lot like my girl Clementine.

Thank you!!!
She isn't quite as silver as some other Miamis that I've seen, but I wouldn't change a thing. Her orangey/red markings look so good, and she has a great attitude.

I know what you mean. I have some Miami's from Carol Huddleston that have that perfect silver/gray background, but I still love my Clementine - even if she isn't the "typical" miami.

Here is a picture of her:

Well, she's got awesome black borders and nice red saddles! I'm sure nearly everyone wishes their Miamis' backgrounds were more silver. I think Miamis have the sweetest personalities of all the morphs or localities.

Thank you Nanci, I also love how broad her boarders are. Also, the extra dark coloration seems to give her markings a fiery appearance.
I got her as a sub adult, and she was thin when I got her, and didn't like being handled. On top of that she didn't eat for the first 5 months, and it seemed like force feeding would have really been harmful seeing she was so thin. I would spend a while each week trying to feed her, and one week after about an hour of trying different things, she ate.
She has turned into a wonderful pet, and calms down quickly when I take her out to hold. She still occasionally goes off feeding in the winter, sometimes for around a month. She seems to be gaining weight fairly well now, and I'm happy with her progress.

Thank you, my brother actually took the photos, but he will appreciate the compliments.
