thanks, she didnt like it, but after every shed i try to get a few good shots, she changes colors from that beautiful little tricolor snake to a big jet black snake as an adult. so im trying to get similar pics after every shed and in a few years it should make a pretty sweet flipbook of her transformation. doing the same thing with my everglades rat as he too changes, he will go from gray to orange, should be some pics of him around here somewhere, his name is psycho.
