The Secret of

[Jessicat]

Quick picture update of my Miami Pair from Carol. Both are het hypo and motley.

Mrs. Brisby
She's a pretty picky eater, only accepting washed pinks, and then sometimes refusing them if she is in a bad mood. I'm going to find out just what's making her feel insecure. Still a little skinny, but with spirit to make up for it..

My attempt at getting them on a darker background. The colors that showed through were amazing! My camera added some weird blue fringing though. :shrugs:

And the male,
Nimh
He is quite a snake! An excellent feeder, and boy does he have a hunger for life. As seen in the pictures below, he's always on the go when I take him out of his tub, flailing about like mad. He's really getting quite strong for his size! I think he's going to be a big boy.

While shopping for a lap top the other night I noticed that DSLRs are under $1,000 now. A few of them are as low as $400-500!!! This is incredibly exciting news for me. Hopefully my pictures will improve drastically within the next year. :cheers:

Very nice Miamis, Jessica. :cheers: Carol's Miamis are so clean, with awesome contrast, and you got a couple of excellent examples.

I loved that book as a kid. But isn't it strange naming a snake after a mouse? :grin01:

Beautiful snakes!

What a gorgeous pair!

Great looking Miami's! I wouldn't expect anything else coming from Carol!

Ah, the Huddleston Miami. (Hey, there's an Abbott Okeetee, so why not?)

Clean background, garnet-red saddles. Couldn't ask for anything better than that.

How old are they, Jessica?

regards,
jazz

They are beautiful! Carol has some of the nicest miamis, I think anyway I really like the blue/gray background color... it makes the saddle colors really pop I am getting some snakes from Carol myself, and I am soooo excited! especially after seeing these babies

Dean, :grin01: :grin01: :grin01: I suppose naming a snake after a secret experimental laboratory that bestows human inelegance on animals is an odd thing to name a snake after as well. Carol told me that the male of the pair she was offering was special, so I decided he needed a special name! Mrs. Brisby was in my opinion the obvious choice for the female to keep with the theme.

Dale, Huddleston Miamis they are! Unfortunately I made an extremely embarrassing mistake of calling them "Hudson" Miamis in my introductory post of them. I think my mind just naturally went to Hudson Bay, where some of my family lives. *blush* I didn't want to make the same mistake twice. I did a bit of research and found that these guys were piping on 4-28-07. So they're about 5 months old now.
Here's a link that gives a bit more information about their parents. Beautiful snakes!

Looks like we get a glimpse of the first pictures of Mrs. Brisby and Nimh that were ever taken! I think Nimh is the first male shown (first baby picture), and Mrs. Brisby is the first female (third baby) shown.
