So why is she getting lighter???

I couldn't capture her true colors but she's lighter than the pictures in person.

She is very pretty but she really looks thin to me, as do the others.

I have to agree. The only one that doesn't look very thin is the bottom one in the third pic.

I'd normally say because it may be gravid, which is a normal way they get lighter, but they're way to thin, it could be because they're stressed and not in the best condition

The Banded one looks perfect.

Her light coloration almost reminds me of a Desert. I love how varied normals can be. :snake:

I'll agree with the others. I would like to respectfully suggest that you feed them more. What is your feeding schedule like?

They do look a little on the thin side. Have you have trouble with them feeding regularly? Not knockin you at all, just askin. If they are eating regularly you may need to bump up the prey size or feed additional items.
I only ask because if they are eating the proper amounts regularly they could have some sort of internal parasite issue. I have a couple of adults that are lookin thinner than normal from being off feed during the breeding season.

Thanks everyone. I bought this group from a guy who got really busy and didn't get to feed them for a while. They were obviously neglected but they're all doing much better now. Most of them ate except for the one that is pictured with her third picture down. When I first got them, they all drank for at least 5 minutes straight. But again they're all better now.

here are some updates...

This is her now after few meals...

If you look at 4th pic from my first post, this is the girl on the 4th pic with. She was 2200g when I got her, well I believe she's getting back up there.

This is just two weeks ago, I know they'll all be in prime condition given more time.

They're looking good :)
