On the lighter side of my rainbow...

[Valvaren]

Since I've been leaving Burn to herself lately due to her condition its been up to her brother, Quick Ben, to satisfied my rainbow fix. Tonight I was in for a surprise, up until now both babies have had a very off white-ish color to the lower part of their belly and I always chalked it up to size, tonight Quick Ben was sporting his first nightly white side in turn pure white goodness, needless to say it earned him a photo shoot, unfortunately I don't have a good way to photograph the brbs so these aren't as good as what I would like.

But enough talk, here is the pictures!

Brbs whiteout all the time, generally at night. It's striking!

Yeah I know, they are only still young yet and as I said up until this point they always had a white-ish greyness to their sides, only up to about the middle, never a true white side. Tonight is the first night I've check on him/had him out that his sides have been higher and truly white which is why I took the photos.

I can't wait till they are bigger.

The whitening of their sides (metachrosis) is my absolute favorite trait of Rainbow Boas. I have a very dark male I bought nearly "sight-unseen," (he was s'posed to be a girl!)and at first I wasn't really crazy about his color... until I saw his white sides at night. The contrast is just incredible!

Yeah it's really amazing to finally get to see it in person, they are both growing up so nicely.

I admire the creative use of doorknobs to keep your subject still. He's looking pretty spiffy as always!
