is it possible for a snake to develope different colors and patterns after a shed? mine just shed and has develpode more paterns and brighter colors.


also how old do you think he might be? he's between 21" and 22" long from head to tail? when i got him on september 10th they said he was approx 6-9 weeks old and my local reptile person i clal her snake lady says it's not possible that it is too long to be of this young age, and she also said the store my wife got him from is know to call wild caught snakes ....is this neccessarliy a bad thing? anyways i'm taking him in here in a couple hours for her to look at him and make sure everything is ok and see the exact size of food i should be feeding him, are there any ?'s or things i should specifically ask or have her look at? also what should i transport him in? i was thinking of havign the wife drive and me hold him, or a pillow case put him in the corner and twirl it then put it back through itself...the temps are getting cold around here, i plan on warm up the suv and then running from house to it when i go...just a little advice

thanks
Dan
