For these next short entries, we are profiling our four holdbacks from the 2011 Hills-Alex litter. Born on September 14, 2011, all four just hit their one-year birthdays, and are shaping up nicely. We will cover two babies a week over the next two weeks. This is part one of the four-part series.
Kilimanjaro is the little punk of the litter. He was feistiest of the group on the day they were born, nipping me not once but several times as I transferred him to the scale and his drawer. He also proved to be the athlete of the group, once managing to bolt his drawer to the floor in a quick (and quickly terminated) escape attempt.
Here is Kilimanjaro as of his birth in September 2011:
Here he is at six months in March 2012:
And here he is at one year in September 2012:

Inside
He now weighs 218 grams, placing him a few months ahead of the usual growth curve for a Brazilian of his age. Going forward, we hope he will develop into a solid red specimen.

| Absolutely gorgeous! Love to see the progressive shots of the snake, gives a good idea of the color change as they age. |

When all else fails, find someone who knows what they're doing and try as best you can to do what they're doing.
