The first 3 are of Athena (with Sylar making a cameo appearance)




The next two are Hercules




And finally Sylar

Great Photos Mart! I got some macro rings last month (Can't afford a proper lens at the moment), they're okay for things that stay still.

Tried taking photos of the snakes with them on, can't get focused quick enough manually... they move about too much.

probably not
she's been a bit 'off' recently, not fed this year yet, not even interested in yummy mice she's always in the cold end of the viv which is a chilly 19*C on average. at first i thought she'd probably pooped in her warm hide which would explain the preference for the cold one, but no. i thought it could be a little too hot for her at 32*C so i turned it down to 29*C, but no. then i tried turning it up a fraction incase i'd cooled it too much............. but no. i've repeatedly moved her to the warm end as i was getting worried but she never stays there for longer than about half an hour, so no. today i've resorted to swapping the hides over so she has her wooden stick one in the warm end and the posh E-T one in the cold end and YES!!! she's stayed there all afternoon! why didn't i think of it sooner?? if she's still 'warm' tomorrow i'll try her with a feed

If you're having problems with her then I'll look after her for a while (forever) .

Don;t think I'll ever get bored of him but if I ever find a female for sale I'll buy her so that I can breed them. The wife would probably kill me for getting another snake but it would be worth it
