why did my ball change color?

But the markings are very similar, especially the patch of blushing right behind the first neck break. From the first pics she does look like a pastel. Hmm.. strange things happening lately, spiders turning axanthic looking (for a while)... normals turning into pastels... I want to know what's in you guys' water! lol.

where can I get some of this water lol

I purchased a WC tiger line recently that looked pastel at birth, but matured into a caramel coloured snake... saw the pics and would not have believed it was even the same snake.

Could be some mix, or random genetics going on in this girl.

i dont have an answer myself but looks liek one beautiful pastel to me by the markings and blushing. almost looked like she tried to turn into a super the way the back and head blushing has changed so much. shes not a super but i would have to say she is a pastel although if you look at the area of the belly shown in the pic she does have some black on her belly.

There are a lot of reasons snakes change colors from mineral deficiencies to hormones - it's rarely permanent and not genetic. But she looks very nice.

i'm really sorry but for now i only have camera phone pictures. these pictures were taken on printer paper, not muslin. they are a little washed out, she is more gold than yellow.

the only black on her belly is right here ON her belly button which truly confuses me:


you'r right, when i first got this snake her eyes were pitch black, i could not tell where the pupil was. her eyes are now brown and i can definately tell her pupil from her iris.

i went back to petsmart last night to see what color the normals eyes were. the baby i picked up had dark brown eyes. which thouroughly confused me. this snake has question marks all over it.


this is a less flattering picture, but i want everyone to get all angles of her till i can find my sisters digital camera. the shadow on the left makes her look a little darker on that side. i couldn't get the paper to stay on the light.

Could be some sort of fire / sulfur / vanilla / on any other name they are calling them now. I do not know very much about them, but I do know that they get lighter with age. You could breed her to try to see if it is an inheritable trait. You could also breed her to a fire / sulfer… to see if you produce a black-eyed lucy. Either way, she is a beautiful snake.

Not even a year old with that size? Interesting. I hope mines get like that.
