I posted a little while back about my boy Zaphod, and some of you asked to see my IMG.
Had him out today, so here’s some picture spam of Leif!
He’s an IMG het red dragon, I believe he was born mid to late 2022. I’ve had him since April.
It amazes me how in less than a year his pattern is almost completely gone! Even his belly which was mostly white has so much black on it now.
He’s just so gorgeous with that velvety black with rainbows on top. He is also extremely chill and curious and is an absolute joy to handle.
I love this little guy.
I’d love to see your IMGs, too!
Like Leif, she’s a total sweetheart. I’m really looking forward to watching her get darker.
One thing I love about IMGs is that they’re gorgeous at every stage of life. They’re beautiful as babies, and they become spectacular as they mature and the IMG takes over. Some snakes (like many ball pythons) are beautiful and vibrant as babies but become more drab as they age, and others (like my blood python) are sort of meh as babies but gain colour and beauty as they mature. But I love the look of IMGs at any age.
What a stunning animal! Leif is truly gorgeous. Lenore is very pretty, as well.
I don’t have any boas, but I love that they are snakes which are “beautiful at any age.” That’s one of the things I love about my corn snakes, too. They change as they grow, in most cases becoming more attractive with maturity. Hopefully snakes spend most of their lives as adults. It’s nice when they have lifelong beauty.
Leif is so lovely. I guess I should say handsome since he’s a boy. Pick your adjective, he’s stunning. How long will it take for his pattern to vanish?
Thank you all! I’ll have to update this thread in another 6 months or so, haha.
@caryl , I’m not sure; his dad was fully black by age 5 I think, but it may be sooner or later for this guy (he’s 2 now). When I got him in April of last year, he looked like my Hypo but with more black patches, and now that pattern is almost gone already.
