Thought I'd share some of my new pics, I posted them on that 'other site' but wanted to share here too..

This pic was taken 10/01 when I first got Vegas: (5 months old)


Here she is just the other day... 2 years old now


Both Cinnamon(salmon) and Vegas were born 5/01, here is a comparision pic.
(I've only had Cinn for about a year now)

Looking good!!! Snake aint bad either [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Maybe the size difference has something to do with how it was fed as a neonate. In my last clutch of BCI my hold back Valentino was the same size as the larger neonates of the clutch. Well the way I feed him he grew like a weed and is knocking on 4' real soon and he was born March '02, I ran into someone that bought one of his siblings, and it was nowhere even close to his size, almost half. I know she isn't going by the proper feed size. I tried to educate her when i saw this.
Maybe they were fed different as neonates. I can see you obviously know how to feed them.

Ed, yeah I think the salmon was fed small items, I'm not sure, but she's catching up
fast (just made the move to rat-pups with her). Vegas just took her first small rat, so
she should be having a little growth spurt soon. I do feed on a slower-gradual basis,
one item about every 7-14 days. I try to vary as much as possible.

Well I commented over at the 'other' site too, but I'll do the same here. Vegas has one of the most stunning tails I've seen (pics) on a BCI...glad she's doing so good! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Still don't understand why the best looking herp-woman in northern California wants to move to Las Vegas! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] The fact that I lived there for 10 years and couldn't wait to move away has nothing to do with it!!!

On the bright side of that Steve she's one state closer to Chicago. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] I feed mine on a weekly schedule. valentino is eating medium rats now and they barely put a bulge in his belly. At the rate he's growing he'll be up to large rats before I know it. She does have a great tail, Valentino has a pretty nice one too. Could make an interesting breeding project in a year or 2.

What can I say? I like the heat lol Actually moving there has more to do with the
fact that I just cannot afford to live in this pricey Bay Area anymore.
I'll go look for pics of Valentino [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
I am hoping my albino has babies, if so I plan to keep a male and eventually breed
with Vegas, can you imagine albinos with big side-striped red tails? At least, that is
my long-term goal. Vegas has darkened up quite a lot since she was a baby, but for about
2 weeks after shedding or in her lightphase you can see the nice red color...

Nothing like it was as a baby, but I still like it. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

"What can I say? I like the heat lol"

I hope so! Talked to my Mom on the phone this morning (she still lives there)...the forecast is for 115 degrees F today!!! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img] Anyway, really looking forward to Vegas' future breeding projects.

Yup, she's a BCI, bred by a breeding in .. Vegas of course! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Both parents were
normal (big mom, she was 10'!) and half the litter came out with the side-striping...
she was a pick-of-the-litter but the original owner decided to sell so I snatched her up!
[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] I even drove to vegas to get her. (well I was going there anyways at the time, but
it makes a nice story, heee)
