Yes, I still live. Life and work are busy and good, though the latter leaves me feeling unsociable when I get home, hence the lack of posting for the past months. >_>;;; So here's a little slice of my life right now:
Anybody remember this little girl? Auryn's grown a lot! She's deep in blue in this pic ("in blue" = about to shed; the outer layer of skin is separating, which dulls out the colors).
And here she is as she normally looks.
Brihs, an Anerythristic (Anery) Motley. An absolute sweetheart, and currently the longest of my snakies (although Auryn is heavier).
Rage thinks snakies are fascinating; he likes to smell them. Brihs was the first I introduced to him (many months before this pic was taken).
Briars, Brihs' sister/clutchmate. She's skittish and twitchy, and has bitten me many times, lol.
But she's also gorgeous. (And not nearly as nippy as she used to be.)
And Calanthe, my lovely little orchid--a Lavender Aztec; she was an X-mas present from my brother and his girlfriend. This pic is also my desktop at work. (She's got blue eyes!)
Her patterning is absolutely fantastic!
And lastly, a new calico ryukin--her other side looks even better than this, but she's still in the squirmy, fast phase, so it's hard to get pics. She's got matte scales (as opposed to the normal metallic) with a few spangle scales thrown in, so you can see her gills through her gill cover on this side.
Funny feeding pics:
An early feeding pic of Brihs (both she and Briars came to me as problem feeders, and they were stringy little worms back then!) (Notice a certain kitty in the background, lol.)
Aww, Auryn's first hopper. You can see her little teefs! (Btw, going tail-first didn't work out, lol!)
This is Auryn's Pop-eye face. YARR!
