A handful of rainbow...

It's Jager time!
A VERY stinky handful of rainbowfied snakies. It was a complete rotten egg muskathon. I can forgive them when they look that good...

Zhen and Oracle the sunbeam snakes (Xenopeltis unicolour).

Appologies for the crap pictures, I never realised how overexposed they were on the camera screen.

Elle, your snakes and photography are both beautiful. I really like the 4th picture, the rainbows just pop!

I purchased a pair years ago that were listed as cb. Needless to say they weren't, the female was sick and I lost her after only 18 days. After dreaming of owning a sunbeam for so long, losing her broke my heart. So glad to see you are having much better luck than I did.
 
Thanks Tammy, both babies are CB and it makes it soooooooo much easier to keep. They are such low maintenance.

It's just such a shame 99.9% of sunbeams in captivity are WC specimens that are usually loaded with parasites and skin problems...

Thanks Meg, they really are beautiful wee snakes despite the fact it's almost like keeping 2 pet boxes of wet moss...
 
Right on Elle! I was basically gone a couple of days and came back to more pics of my favorite snakes.

They are looking great! Especially that almost double tongue shot there, very nice.

I've heard they are super fast eaters, what's that look like?
 
Elle, those are my absolute Fav of your collection!! I would get some in a heart beat.. and maybe throw in a leg or arm LOL Every time you post pics of them I just drool and turn a really unbecoming shade of green LOL So beautiful!! Thank you for posting updates for me to drool over :D

Thanks dude :) I have NEVER seen them eat. They get food dropped into a corner and it always disappears. Infact, I have never even seems them out and about above the moss... it really is like keeping a pet box of condensation LOL

They are super duper fast though...

You are most welcome :) I enjoy taking pictures of these two... I just love rainbows!
 
Elle,
As always incredible photographs and snakes.

But I see you learned your modeling techniques at the Roy Munson's School for Hand Modeling. A skill that will take you places. :grin01:

Thanks Dean... Any luck finding out about CB or well established WC specimens to add to your collection?

Nah-- I really haven't been looking. I wouldn't buy WC anyway, no matter how well established. I have four new corns coming from Carol, and hundreds of hatchlings on the not-distant-enough horizon, so I'm not really looking to expand the diversity of my collection at this time...

Moose-onions? :confused: :grin01:

Thanks Debb, the female is ridiculously big, I don't know if you can tell in the photos but she is huge compared to the male.
