Hey everyone,
I just shot some photos of one of my new additions last night, and thought I'd share.
He's a Sunkissed Bloodred 66% het Caramel, 50% het Amel, that I purchased as part of a pair from Walter Smith (the other a Caramel Blood female, het SK).
Usually I look at the classifieds ads when I'm on, just to admire them, but several weeks ago Walter had run a Super Sunkissed Sale ad (as some of you may know). And, in my typical investigation mode, I couldn't help but go to his site (which looks great, BTW) to search over all of his amazing animals twice (then twice more). I had opened up his page more as a photo galley to "aww" over. But, unlike how it usually is for me when a good deal pops up, I was actually fortunate enough to have already had some money saved for the reptile show that took place that same weekend. So I kept an open mind :dgrin:...
I was excited to see what might be at the show, but the second I saw this guy on Walter's page I messaged him. I might be picking favorites a little early, but his face stole the money right out of my pocket (I swear.. wasn't even in my control). And before I knew it, the money I had saved up for the reptile show had become crickets.
Anyways.. here he is.
There's just something very special about the way that he looks, to me. And I love how the Bloodred gene works with Sunkissed. There isn't as much diffusion as is with some other BR morphs, but the color on him glows (photos don't do much justice), and his pattern is just incredible (especially on his head).
*I'll be posting more photos (of both) in the next couple of days. Just waiting on the female to shed. But thank you for looking
!
Also, want to add quickly. Thanks again to Walter, for making these available. I know that the Corn Snake market isn't great right now, and it's to Walter's misfortune to have to sell such amazing animals at such low prices. But he was really a great guy to deal with (I truly mean it). He was incredibly patient with me, as I held him up even after the sale ended to have the money order arrive, and he was still nothing but helpful. Not only a great deal, but top-notch quality and service.
There's no way that I could have otherwise ended up with such amazing animals, and I am so thankful to be able to have such an outstanding pair to enjoy/work with. And thank you again, Walter, very much!
