    Odd coloration on normal female

    Just picked this normal up from a store around me, shes about 700 grams and is in great condition. I am basically wondering weather i should try to prove it out or if it is just as odd ball(the creamy white patches).





    the white is not lighting its the snake and these pics have no flash.

    Re: Odd coloration on normal female

    Looks like a little IMG going on there..IMG = irregular melanin gene a few people have then and that I know of they have yet to be reproduce..

    But its a really cool looking snake..I'd keep it..

    Is it possible this gene can influence others like bring out or enhance certain traits.

    Re: Odd coloration on normal female

    Looks like pigment loss to me. I have a rescue girl who I got as an adult last year who had patches of that; they were bright yellow-white at the time and the rest of her was normal. They're still there but over time the pigment has been coming back in normally with each shed; a little, little darker each time.

    Your girl is pretty though! The only thing I can say is wait and see! Maybe I'm wrong and she has something going on!

    Nothing wrong if you dink w/ her, specially at that weight, she could even be ready for breeding next season.. Who knows, the color change and hook may be an indicator of something special..
