Zipper - 2010 Butter Stripe

[windowswisher]

Picked up a new friend at a reptile show at the end of August. Took him out today briefly to snap a few pics. Can't wait till his yellows start to come in. Will try to keep this thread updated as he grows.

Such a sweet little face.

Ariel shot. Please ignore grubby fingernails.

eeeeee <3

And finally, a few pics of his pretty faded stripe. Forgot to snag some ventral shots but oh well, next time.​

Thanks for looking!

I love that third picture.

Yes, he's so cute. I forgot what it's like to own a baby snake; he's always flying out of my hands! Bombs away.

He's gorgeous!! I used to realllly want a Butter Motley until I saw a picture of a Butter Stripe.. then I just couldn't settle for a Butter Mot anymore!

Awesome photo shoot too, I LOVE that piece of wood. I'm a sucker for nice wood pieces. I hope to see some more pictures of him in the future!! Oh, also, nice name.

FINALLY an update. I've been so, so busy with school, and don't have much as time to post as I'd like to. Here's is my 2010 butter stripe, Zipper, at about 9 months old.

Tree shot! Unfortunately it was very difficult to capture his bright yellows. They look a bit washed out in these first pictures.

I love his white belly! It fades into his soft yellow towards the tip.

A picture of his lovely little head.

Oh, look at his colours now! He is getting really beautiful. The stripe makes him so elegant.
