OK, you guys made me dust off the old 35 mm prints... lol. I think my scanner nearly had cardiac arrest it's so old and dusty now. Oh well at least it still works!! Forgive the poor quality, these pics are ooooold and my scanner sux.


Here is a 'light phase' rusty black rat



The one below is a typical 'dark phase' rusty. As adults these appear almost deep purple in coloration.



And here is another light phase rusty. I always liked the contrast on this snake.


I probably have more pics stashed away somewhere if I come across them I'll post them. Maybe I'll archive them all on my site one day. (yeah right.. lol)

Too bad I got rid of all my rusties a few years back, looking back through these pics I kinda miss them.

Later,
dg
