    Is it normal for BP eyes to look like this?

    So, I was looking at Phred's eyes today since he finally popped those retained eye caps. This is what I saw. Is it normal for BP eyes to be dual colored like this?

    Re: Is it normal for BP eyes to look like this?

    Eye colours can be pretty variable.

    Some morphs especially have associated eye colours - green for spiders and pastels, blue for Blue-eyed-Leucistics ( funnily enough ), my lessers have nice light eyes and my black pastel has jet black eyes.

    I find it fascinating that their eyes can be colored to match the color patterns on their heads.

    I'm working on a Snake Tracker App! If you have any ideas or suggestions on features, feel free to post them in the Development Thread! I'll also be posting updates on the development of this program in this thread!
