    what is she?

    because i got my bp for christmas, i didn't get any information that i wanted to know about her. ie- date of birth, morph, etc. i think she's a normal, but i just want to know for sure. her spots seem to be lightening up with every shed, just as the rest of her body gets blacker. she's not yellow. but almost a brownish green on her back and her side is kind of a speckled brown. any guesses? i'll post pics soon...

    just a normal. There are so many patterns and shade variations in normals that you won't ever find 2 with the same pattern. As for age, it is just a guess and no one can be certain. All snakes grow at different rates. I have 2 from the same clutch both females and one is 700 g and the other is 1100 g so nothing is typical with these snakes.
    lots of snakes

    Re: what is she?

    As Tim said, most likely a normal - they come in all shades and colors. For an example in variability in normals, I just posted some of my collection here:

    The last one is a lemon pastel, but all the others are normal females.

    Yup a pretty normal with a funky cool pattern. I'm a sucker for weird looking patterns.

    A very nice looking normal - definitely one that I would pick up to add to my collection!
