Question about white snakes!

I've got an Ivory Queen bee, and he doesn't really have any problems. I don't really think this is an issue, but I'm just curious. When he eats, the front 1/3 of his body turns super pink. Is this normal? Does anyone else's white snakes do this?

If you are talking when his mouth and neck starts to stretch as he swallows, yes, it is normal.

I expect it when he's swallowing, but it goes further down and is blotchy.http://i59.tinypic.com/j6r4th.jpg
Since he's an Ivory Queen Bee could it just be his pattern standing out? Not the greatest picture.

Pretty snake you have! I have never seen that though, so I can't really help. ;-;

Very interesting! Not something I have seen or heard about before - if you could capture the before-during-after in (clearer) pictures or on video, I'd love to see, and hear what some of the more experienced members think it might be! :)
