Loving this thread what a stunner ,just beautiful xx

Oh that makes my heart smile, thank you!
He is progressing so well, his color is always changing.
It's so much fun watching him grow and being able to take beautiful pictures of him in the process.
 
Playing around with my camera a little more!

My adorable, gorgeous little turd face would NOT cooperate for this min photoshoot... He was cool and calm, and then decided he was gunna do what he wanted, so he proceeded to race around all over the place...
I never would have even gotten these shots if it weren't for this uuuhhh-maziing camera..

So, here's little uncooperative man, in all his glory. He just gets more beautiful with every shed.

Lol! Right!?

Dude, that is how I felt for SO LONG before even getting my first corn- I got an Amel first, he was a gift... And trust me, I LOVE HIM.... But I was scrolling through all these progression threads, photos, baby pictures while doing my research... I was obsessed with getting a pink/white snake lol I saw Steve Roylance had some and I pounced. I am so not disappointed!

LOL, that's how I went from one snake to 4 in under a year! Kaa was a rescue normal, then I fell in love with a pile of morphs I saw here, with a vanishing stripe anery topping my list, got Trillian, my charcoal anery, at my first reptile expo, then finally got my vanishing stripe anery, Vastra, from Gary at Crazy Colubrids, first time shipping a snake, lol. Then I got Sif, a gold dust, at my next reptile expo the same year, lol.
 
Lol!! I swear if I had more money and less self control than I would have like 15 of them lol I want almost every single one that I see!
Unfortunately my apartment is so small so right now I can only have my 2 boys but I plan on expanding my collection hopefully soon lol you sound like you've got a beautiful collection started <3

Hah, my apartment is small too, thankfully you can get stacking vivs for corns! ;) I've also got two frog tanks and an axolotl tank crammed in there, lol.
 
I know I've seen this thread before, but somehow never commented on it??? No idea how that happened. Probably because it physically hurt me how pretty your boy is, knowing that I wanted one too SO BAD but didn't have one. LMAO

He's gorgeous! I can't wait to see future updates of how he progresses. :)

Omg thank you so much.
He just gets more and more stunning as he grows, I am so glad I got him. He's such a cool guy, too. He's getting out of his hatchling, flighty-bitey-strikey stage and becoming more responsive to his handling sessions.

I am ready to see lots of pictures of your new beauty!
 
New nature pics!

These didn't come out as well as I'd hoped- I need to take a class to learn how to use this camera properly, but until then, these pics will do.

Tom was actually really great and cooperative for his outdoor picture session, I am very proud of him!
Enjoy <3

Giiirrrlll I did QVC easy pay on a canon rebel T5.... It's awesome. I am getting lessons on how to use it lol because I can't unleash its full potential yet!
It helps to have a cooperative subject, too :p

Yikes!! I just looked that up. It's... uh... 'spensive. LOL
I will just continue to enjoy everyone else's fabulous pictures for now. After all, my snakes still look great to me, it's just you guys who can't enjoy them with the crappy pictures I'm taking. LMAO. I can't wait to see how your pictures get better with your lessons, because they are already pretty sweet!

Lol YIKES is right- It was definitely my splurge gift for myself. Pricey... but oh so worth it. My old camera just.. wasn't cutting it at all, and I jumped at the opportunity to get me a fancy shmancy camera.
I really wanted to capture their color changes and growth- I don't want to miss anything while they're growing up, since they change so much <3
 
Couple of eating pics- I look over and see this face... I just couldn't.
Tom gets cooler and cooler every day, he's started to really come out of his grumpy shell.
