yeah shes alot cleaner in pattern, the woman told me she didnt eat a whole lot for a year... but she said that they are about the same age... i find it a little hard to believe they are close in age because of the sheer difference in size.Originally Posted by starmom
Wow!! The big girl makes you look teeny!!!!!
While a lot of bci's (common Columbian) get darker with age, there is a lot of variation among individual snakes. It looks like the small girl has less speckling and is just cleaner looking than the big girl and makes me think that she'll not get as dark as the big girl.
They are beautiful and kudos to your parents for their support in this adventure!!
i really hope its as dark as she gets...Very nice looking girls!
I'm going to make an educated guess and say they are Bci, probably Colombians.
To be a 100% on what spp. and locale you had, there are several factors. The subcaudal, dorsal and ventral scale count differ from spp. Then they count saddles, look at head shapes and coloration. It's a very tricky thing to get a 100% ID on an animal.
It's hard to tell if she will darken as much as the larger female, they age differently. Some stay nice and light, while most do tend to darken with age. That could be as dark as she gets though.
where would i find the info to possibly figure it out... it would be nice to know [or have an idea] of what locale they are
thanks
