BP with two different colored eyes
Hey all, I just noticed my super pewter male Atari has two different colored eyes. Any thoughts on why? Link below

okay now info: in other animals the term for this is called heterochromia. in other animals, it can be inherited or it is the effect of random genetic fun-times. since your snake already exhibits some genetic fun-times (see: paradox markings) i would suspect it comes from that same anomoly.
EDIT: in other animals, this (heterochromia) is common for chimeras. you may have a chimera!!!

It also occurs sometimes in humans as well actually. Tim McIlrath of the band Rise Against has heterochromia...one of my favorite teenage bands when I was in the "rebel" stage lmao.

Re: BP with two different colored eyes
I took this little guy to the vet to make sure this wasn't one fully dilated pupil... and the vet was able to show me the pupil on the dark side. He's totally healthy, just unusual! He's key to my future plans so I'm glad he can stay in the mix
