|
|
Just a wee update on our CB pair of Asian sunbeam snakes - Xenopeltis unicolour. These are growing soooo rapidly, infact the female is now onto fuzzies Thanks so much Karl!
Zehn - The musker. It smells like rotten egg and enough to make you puke. Hes in shed here, but still so irridescent!
Fish scales
Oracle the wee fatty wriggly female. Shes freshly shed and super hard to get decent photographs of!
Tongue shot!

Thanks guys
I'm so pleased we got these from Karl... sooo much easier to deal with than parasite ridden WC adults.
It's extremely difficult to get really sharp nice pictures of them as theres just no texture to their scales and its hard to manually focus a big stupid macro lens whilst holding poopy wee worms LOL |

Very nice snakes!
I spoke to Karl a month or so ago about his sunbeam project for this season. Hope it all works out well Karl as I definitely want a pair after seeing these pics!
cheers
