Angry Red Hateling

[Nanci]

Miss Ruby shed last night, and I couldn't find the tail tip of her shed, so I had to get her out for inspection. I only handle this baby for feedings, and she is never out in her viv. This is the best shot I could get of her dorsum- most of the time she was in a tight S and about to tip over backwards. With liberal strikes at the camera!

 

[Nanci]

This is the first time I ever set her down without being held. I figured she'd be too busy trying to kill me to run away, and I was right. Still- I only took five pics- I didn't want to push my luck.

 

[Nanci]

This is one snake that I don't kiss! I took at least ten bites- nice good strikes, too! Isn't she just adorable?? 14 grams!

Thanks for looking!

 

[ArpeggioAngel]

What a crazy little snake. She is so darn purty though!!

 

[diamondlil]

She's such a little spitfire! Adorable hateling

 

[jamay]

Evil little thing but still a beauty! Nice shots by the way!

 

[Nanci]

Well, they're really not very in focus, but that is difficult when she is striking at the camera. She's not really evil, she just wants to be left alone, and since I have plenty of snakes that don't want to be left alone I can honor her wishes!

Beautiful little gal!

Her attitude makes for some good photos.

LOL. We should introduce her to my little lavender corn. He's a hateling too. Those pics are too funny...it's so cute how they act all tough when they're tiny like that.

That's an awesome little cobra! I wonder what makes some little snakes more aggressive than others?

Nanci,

Just curious...does your camera have a red assist light that comes on when you take a picture? My Powershot2 had one and when I turned it off, Gailleann wasn't near as nasty about having her picture taken.

I think other than the second one, the blurr adds to the feel of the shot. I like them and her

 

[daneale777]

I think Alan was right about her looking like a cobra. That was my first thought too. She is adorable, though.

I think it does, with some settings. But she starts biting the second I take her out of her viv and never stops. She even bites the hand that's holding her- that's unusual.

 

[Stephen29]

Wow, she looks mean. Ha, Ha.

 

[NFS07]

Well Nanci, you have handful there. Gooooood luck with that one but she is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

 

[XCIN]

I've a brother of your striped blood and he is the devil... everytime when i open the box he bites me... but he is also awesome, like yours :crazy02:

 

[Emanon]

so angry... so young... must be that darn rap music

 

[SnakesRule1234]

It's about time for photos! I've been waiting a while to see this lil' "hateling" again.. I got bit by Spike yesterday and let me tell you- a bite from THAT won't come close so don't worry. LOL

 

[RavenSpirit360]

I love her little attitude. Mine are starting to loose their attitudes I'm gonna miss it..

She's a lovely little spitfire! Here's hoping she grows out of her 'tude, as it won't be nearly as cute and funny when she's 450 grams.
