I'm actually breeding her for the first time this year, I'm pretty excited! I'm crossing her with my Bamboo male, hoping for a Bamboo Pinstripe. Her eyes sure look different than your snake!
All in all, I consider myself lucky having gotten him for $50 as a 2yr old adult. May not be the fanciest of morphs or whatever, but he's got the best temperament out of any snake I've handled up to now. Then again, I've heard conjecture due to how established Pinstripe is as a morph, that the genetic pool is pretty diverse leading to animals with less nerves. Obviously, that may not be true, but seems like it possibly could be since that is part of the basis of domestication.
Mentioning that since the Pinstripe females I see always seem to be very chill animals, including yours.
Yeah, Pollux has dark eyes, only a glimmer of that copper-green at the very top. His sire (Junior Rohl's Milwaukee, a Mojave Pinstripe) has similarly dark eyes for the morph, so probably a little genetic blip.
You can see a bit of it here:

Guess he's ready for it to be Sneksgiving.

Re: Pollux
My hera(pinstripe) is extremely docile also, I've gotten her to where I can rub her head like she's a puppy dog. My emperor pinstripe tho, he's a bit of an ass right now, real flighty, so he needs some work put in in him.

He gets so pink when sheds are coming up. Absolutely no doubt, even before he starts to blue out.
Looks like I'll be waiting a week or two to cycle out his substrate and stuff (since that vent looks like he's intending to poop along with the shed). Plenty fine with me since I've been fighting off a bad bit of bronchitis following a typical northern winter cold. Plus dental work.

Was lurking in his bowl today so I took that as a sign he was wanting more moistness. Not surprising with the weather we've been having, it sucks the humidity right out of everything. Moss added, bowl filled up again for him.
895g.

Pollux gets disconcertingly pink before his eyes cloud up, its hard to catch in photography but all his whites become as pink as the comforter my girlfriend and I have. This thing's like coral pink and I keep worrying the UTH has roasted him somehow, despite the fact I keep it actually a bit low and on a well-monitored thermostat.

Re: Pollux
She's the same way, think because they have really really white bellys. I thought the same when she had her first shed with me, I thought tstat had gone bad and she wss starting to burn, but was just shed.
